Common drugs that are missing. For weeks, pharmacies have struggled to get supplies of paracetamol and amoxicillin, a highly prescribed antibiotic. For the latter, the situation would be due to a sharp increase in demand, due to major winter epidemics, after two years of decline. “leading to the curtailment or even shutdown of certain production lines that have not recovered their pre-pandemic production capacities”states the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Healthcare Products (ANSM).
This shortage of amoxicillin, which affects the whole of Europe, is expected to last until March. Proof of the seriousness of the situation, ANSM is multiplying meetings with health professionals and patient representatives to monitor the development of the situation. And take various measures such as quotas, export bans, restriction rule reminders, etc. to avoid disaster.
