Pharmac is seeking feedback on a proposal to fund a new strength of thiamine hydrochloride injection: 50 mg per ml in a 2 ml ampoule. Pharmac currently funds two strengths of thiamine hydrochloride injection:
100 mg per ml (1 ml and 2 ml vials)
125 mg per ml (2 ml vial)
These would continue to be funded alongside the proposed 50 mg per ml (2 ml ampoule). If approved, this new strength would be funded from 1 April 2026.
We welcome your feedback. Consultation is open until 4pm Monday 15 December 2025. Please send your feedback to consult@pharmac.govt.nz.
Ngā mihi,
John Lowe | Therapeutic Group Manager
