🔴 Chronic UTI patients say Strep A antibiotic shortages are a 'huge worry'
Dt Cat Anderson, a leading bladder infection specialist, described the level of Group A Strep cases as “concerning on a number of levels” due to the severity of the disease in some patients coupled with the antibiotic shortages.
Dr Anderson added that some patients, including pregnant women, have limited options other than amoxicillin. Parents have complained that they have not been able to get antibiotics on prescription because their local pharmacy is out of stock. Erika Radford, Head of Health Advice at the charity, said: “We have heard that some antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, which are used to treat bacterial infections including chest infections may be difficult to get hold of at the moment. However, the scale of the problem isn’t currently clear.
