The Scottish government has issued a circular to inform community pharmacy contractors that the Serious Shortage Protocol (SSP) for Clarithromycin 125mg/5ml
oral suspension, an antibiotic product, due to expire on 15 December 2023, has been extended until Friday 12 January 2024.
The extension is applicable to SSP053 which allows community pharmacists to substitute this product with Clarithromycin 250mg/5ml oral suspension for patients
presenting with an NHS or private prescription.
Scotland's chief pharmaceutical officer, Alison Strath, has advised health boards to spread this information to community pharmacy contractors on their
pharmaceutical lists and area pharmaceutical committees, as well as general practices.
Community pharmacists have been advised to review and familiarise themselves with the new end date for the noted SSP.
