Co-Trimoxazole
Notified short 3 times on record since 2023 — a recurring shortage spanning 2.3 years. Every entry links to its source; grouping is by medicine name (dm+d coding will refine it).
Most recently declared short 25 Feb 2026. We record when a shortage is declared, not when stock returns — the source doesn't publish that, so this is the shortage history, not live availability. Check with your pharmacy for today's stock.

An update that shares a reference counts as one episode, so this list can show more rows than the count above. Grouped by the medicine named in each notice's title. Until dm+d coding lands, brand and generic names (and combination products) may sit under separate or first-ingredient entries — see methodology. Not an official NHS or DHSC service.
