Trurapi Shortage

[Mark Rawlinson]

Any one else heard about this ? Had to visit 3 pharmacies before I could get any

As of April 2026, there are reported supply problems with Trurapi (insulin aspart) in the UK, with some users reporting difficulties sourcing stock in areas like Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, leading to potential,localized shortages. While Trurapi was previously recommended as an alternative to shortages of other insulins, it is now experiencing its own availability issues. [1, 2]

Managed to get another prescription but been to all local pharmacies and none have Trurapi in stock nor know when the next delivery will be
one pharmacist did mention Novorapi will be the second choice if you speak with your diabetic team
