Despite NHS assurances that there are no overall shortages, some pharmacists have told us of patients making long journeys to find the drugs they need, because of concern over Strep A. Full story:
Another pharmacist described seeing parents "in desperation" amid "unprecedented demand".
"We had a bottle of amoxicillin in the store - the look of joy, I was like Father Christmas to him. He nearly broke down in tears in front of me. Lela Hannbeck from The Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies said members were also being left out of pocket as "the price that pharmacies are currently being charged for antibiotics is much higher than what they get reimbursed.""We sometimes have surges for products and increased demand means some pharmacies are having difficulties obtaining certain antibiotics," a spokesperson said.
