supplies of the injectable blood thinner lepirudin (Refludan) dwindle over the next few months

You'll see supplies of the injectable blood thinner lepirudin (Refludan) dwindle over the next few months.

It's not a drug shortage. Lepirudin is being discontinued by the manufacturer for business reasons...not safety concerns.

You can continue to dispense lepirudin until supplies run out. But when your pharmacy and supplier run out, that's it.
