The purpose of this email is to inform you that FDA approved tafenoquine, which is marketed under the brand name ARAKODA® (tafenoquine) will temporarily be out of stock due to a delay in completion of commercial validation of updated packaging formats.
To prevent a drug shortage, 60 Degrees Pharma is coordinating with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide the availability of tafenoquine under the brand name KODATEF® (tafenoquine), which is labeled for and distributed in Australia for malaria prevention. However, FDA has not approved KODATEF® for marketing in the United States.
During this period KODATEF® will have limited distribution through Infuserve America.
We will send a notification when ARAKODA® is back in all distribution channels which we anticipate will be in late March.
