As Brexit Looms, Novartis and Roche Stockpile Medicines in Case of No-Deal
As the United Kingdom nears closer to exiting the EU without a deal, drug manufacturers
are preparing contingencies for how they will continue to provide medications, many of them life-saving, for patients in the U.K.
This morning, Swiss pharma giant Novartis said that a no-deal Brexit will have a significant impact on patients, particularly when it comes to the "supply and safety of medicines." The company said it was building increased inventories of its medicines
for the U.K. Novartis said it has made it a priority to ensure that U.K. patients will have access to the medicines it needs that are manufactured by Novartis, Sandoz and Alcon. In its statement this morning, Novartis said it will continue to execute contingency plans and "make all preparations possible to ensure continuity of supply to U.K. patients of the over 120 million packs of medicines we import to the UK from Europe each year." With the March 29 Brexit deadline looming, Parliament has been unable to come to an agreement on what its relationship with the E.U. will be like in the future. Without a deal in place, the U.K. will break from the EU on March 29, two years after Prime Minister Teresa May executed Article 50. With no deal, there is a good chance that trade coming from Europe will be delayed, which includes medications manufactured abroad.
