I have mixed feelings about this medication. Everyone responds differently, but if I don’t try it I’ll never know if it helps me.

When is it available in England/UK?

Thanks

It just came out in the US so it will take some years to reach other countries. Its not available in Canada yet too.

What you can do is call the company making it and ask them if and when it will come out in the UK. I did that for Vraylar.

It first needs EMA approval (european medicines agency) and then the UK looks at it.

It is unclear how long the EMA take. It says a few months after FDA approval online, but what with covid and the unclear time designation from anyone it is hard to tell.

@everhopeful indicated a while back it takes 3 years to get European approval, but he didn’t mention his sources.

I think I was probably going by how long it took rexulti to get approved.

It will be the same for Sep-. Apparently if it passes phase 3 it is likely to be 2023 for FDA approval, and then a further 3 years to reach Europe then. So 2026 for an ap that does work completely differently.

Not actually sure if available in Uk. Maybe still in trials.
Never heard of it TBH.
