💊 Where is the UK with antibiotic supplies? 🔎 This is what the Government, insiders and medical experts are saying:
“Now, sometimes, GPs can have particular surges if they’ve got a lot of demand in an area, and that’s quite routine, we can move the stock around our depots.
Officials added that there were well established procedures in place to ensure there were no medicine shortages, including working with the NHS and medicines industry. Pharmacy director Zeshan Rehmani accused the Government of being “out of touch” for its suggestion that large numbers of children could be given antibiotics to help protect against Strep A.
Dr Leyla Hannbeck, CEO of the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies, has told Times Radio that treatment for Strep A is out of stock in patches “all over the country”. She told Talk Radio: “No, we are not getting penicillin V. So, that is the biggest problem. Penicillin V is the first line treatment. So, the second line is amoxicillin liquid because children cannot take tablets, the second line is also not available in many places.
Dr Chakraborty called on the Government to “take an inspection on the ground” and give GPs “a national plan”.Group A Streptococcal is a bacterial infection that is sometimes found in the throat or on the skin.
