Unavailable Treatments - Cocois Ointment

In July 2025, we received an update from RPH Pharmaceuticals regarding Cocois Ointment 40g and 100g tubes.

Both Cocois Ointment 40g and 100g tubes are currently out of stock with an estimated return to market of September 2025.

Interim Advice

During this period, you may wish to contact your GP to discuss alternative treatment options.

As well as this, The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has asked the manufacturer of equivalent product - Sebco - to provide increased stock levels to support patients during this time.

Equivalent in formulation, Sebco™ is stocked nationwide and available in both 100g and 40g.

The DHSC reports: “We have issued a note on our online Medicine Supply Tool accessible to colleagues in the NHS, advising of the shortage and for prescribers to prescribe Sebco ointment where needed.”

You can also contact RPH Pharmaceuticals stock availability line on 0845 023 0467 for further updates.
