Actavis Group is pleased to announce that Clamelle Azithromycin 500mg Tablets and Clamelle Chlamydia Test Kits are now available for pharmacy distribution in the UK.

Clamelle Chlamydia Service

The Clamelle Chlamydia Service is a private service that is paid for by the consumer. It consists of the Clamelle Chlamydia Test Kit and Clamelle Azithromycin 500mg Tablets. The Clamelle test kit is purchased in a UK pharmacy, a urine sample posted off by the consumer to the laboratory and the result can be sent to the consumer by post or obtained from the pharmacy. If a confirmed positive test is received and if the treatment is deemed appropriate, following a sexual health consultation with the pharmacist, Clamelle Azithromycin 500mg Tablets can be supplied.

The Clamelle Chlamydia service is run jointly by Actavis, the NPA and Gordon Laboratory Group (GLG), a private laboratory which carries out the gold standard Nucleic Acid Amplification Technique (NAAT) testing, manages the test results and the Clamelle customer database.

Clamelle Chlamydia Test Kit and Tablets can only be sold by pharmacies that have registered with the NPA for the Clamelle Chlamydia service, obtained the NPA chlamydia resource pack and registered with GLG. Since the NPA launched the service three months ago, over 7,500 pharmacies have registered with the NPA and received the chlamydia resource pack. Read more…
