TGA secures alternatives for kids on liquid morphine

Oral solutions and drops will become available from 1 December to replace Ordine.

The TGA has secured three alternative oral liquid morphine products to compensate for the dwindling supply of Ordine, which is expected to run dry by early 2024.

Ordine — the only registered brand of liquid morphine in Australia — will be withdrawn from sale starting in November because the sponsor, Mundipharma, says its local manufacturer will stop production and finding another is “not commercially viable”.
