DRUG DESERT: Scarce supply of kids meds scares parents

One Toronto pharmacist says we are in an "emergency" situation currently with a shortage of Amoxicillin which is an antibiotic used to treat children with medication related to flus and respiratory conditions. Parents and consumers are scared that the drug store shelves are bare.

Good thing they kept kids inside to keep their natural immunity down for so long.

How many of this kids that have been getting sick are vaccinated i bet all of them and the kids that aren't vaccinated have been fine !!

[WannaBeLevrone]

What a coincidence...a shortage on baby meds...right when a childhood respiratory illness hits...hmmmm

This is what happens when you send everyone home and create a massive scare.

Crush a half a Tylenol and mix with applesauce. That’s what pharmacist told me.

Ask your Pharmacist to break up the Adult pills for you.

If you're an Albertan you'll remember the phrase "not all Bugs need Drugs"

Since labels are not in French / English they are not allowed in Canada. Thanks Trudope

[bryankerr]

I heard there is no such issue in the USA. Why is that?

[tonycommisso]

Funny McNeil Healthcare a division of J &J manufactures this medication in Guelph. I guess they sell it to the US because there is no shortage there

We don't need medication for children, we have MAID for children, thanks Trudeau.

Bilingual labeling no product. Why not just hand out a piece of paper

[georgedavidson]

Thanks from Health Canada for enforcing “. bilingual labeling. “. Trudeau never disappoints

The failing of necessities and services in Canada are avoidable and seem intentional. Remember these few years if we get another chance to vote. Liberals need to clean house and we need to force them to do so.

[NorthernExposureATV]

My God, ppl can't survive in a first world country without basic pain killers. Let your kids learn what pain is! If it's that bad go to Emerg! We are humans! We don't need drugs!

[algold]

Start printing bi-lingual labels Canada !!!! WTF is going on in this country.

[jfk]
