"The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has been informed that manufacturing of spectinomycin has been discontinued. Spectinomycin is recommended in the Canadian Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections (CGSTI) as part of an alternate combination therapy for anogenital Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, in individuals with contraindications to first-line treatment (i.e., cephalosporins given in combination with azithromycin or doxycycline). This guidance statement for alternative treatments for gonococcal infections was developed in consultation with the CGSTI Expert Working Group based on Canadian epidemiology and a rapid evidence review”--Issue, p. 1.
