In short:

An antipsychotic medication often prescribed to people with schizophrenia or bipolar is in short supply.

Pharmacists and doctors have told the ABC they were not made aware of supply issues until the issue was raised by patients who could not find refills.

What's next?

The TGA says shortages are expected to be resolved in a few months and in the meantime, people can try and source other generic versions instead.
