Information about OncoTICE® (2-8 X 108 CFU Tice® BCG) powder for suspension
Due to increased global demand and as the primary supplier of OncoTICE®/(TICE® /BCG) in the UK, MSD has been experiencing supply constraints. To minimise disruption to patient care, available supply of OncoTICE®/(TICE® /BCG) is proportionally allocated across countries.
MSD are working with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and relevant professional organisations to ensure equitable distribution of the medicine across NHS.
