What is this? This is a blood-pressure tablet that mixes three medicines: amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It comes as a small film-coated pill.

What's happening? The maker, Sandoz, cannot make enough of these pills right now. So the packs are out of stock.

Does this affect me? If your doctor has prescribed this exact pill for you in Austria, you may not be able to get it at the moment.

What should I do? Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before you run out. They can suggest another treatment that is available.
