Customer Service:Biomedic Discontinuation

Overview

A number of Biomedic products are being noted as being discontinued by manufacturer in weborders. The manufacturer of these products, Pharmetics, filed for bankruptcy 2 weeks ago unexpectedly. There was no notice given and the plant is not accessible by anyone. As we, along with other retailers in Canada, deal with Familiprix on the Biomedics line, there are others in the same situation. Familiprix is attempting to find alternate suppliers for the products no longer available to us from Pharmetics. This has caught everyone involved by surprise and puts further stress on attempting to source private label products across Canada.

The majority of the products affected are:

• cough syrups
• multivitamins
• some single entity vitamins
• minerals.

Weborders will show affected products if searched by “Biomedic” and under the description **disc by manuf**. As we get more information from Familiprix, we will keep stores updated.

UNIPHARM will continue to try and back fill these shortages.
