We are writing to inform you of a further supply issue with sodium cromoglicate cap 100 mg (Ralicrom)


Key messages:


  • Ralicrom capsules have been out of stock since December 2025.

  • During this time, we funded three alternative brands, but all available stock has now been used including the Somex Section 29 brand (Pharmacode: 2719649)

  • Stock of Ralicrom (Pharmacode: 2628295) is expected to arrive during the week ending 24 April 2026. This is the Medsafe approved product.

  • The supplier will do everything to expedite this stock through the standard border checks to get it released to wholesalers as quickly as possible. It can still take another 1 to 2 weeks to reach pharmacies around the country.

  • Please contact the patient's immunologist or secondary care specialist for an alternative treatment where Ralicrom is a critical medication for that patient.

  • We thank you for your help in managing this difficult situation.
