What is the Impact?

Couple this with the shortage of Formula, we'll have starving dead babies. That is the impact. If only one it's too many.

Let's go Brandon!

Can confirm there is a shortage of Amoxicillin, but it doesn’t seem to be severe yet. Had a prescription for my son that was on back order at our normal pharmacy, but I was able to get it filled at another pharmacy near our home.

I’ve never had this issue with a common drug like Amoxicillin not being in stock until now.

Atm people don’t feel it because we’re really good at robbing Peter to pay Paul. Somewhere that will give out in a big way.

Why is there an amoxicillin shortage? It’s unclear. According to prevention.com, several pharmaceutical companies that have reported amoxicillin shortages and the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists noted that they didn’t provide a reason for the lack of supply.

I would think the first solution is to find out why there is a shortage.

There's no shortage of illegal drugs - tons of fentanyl crossing the border with millions of illegals.

I'm guessing the same groups are behind both the excess and the shortages... One more reason we need to elect Trump.

China?

The next time you go to the doctor orheaven forbid the hospital, check out where everything is made … drugs, syringes, catheters, etc. It ain’t pretty.

The answer is "made in China" and since they're on pertetual lockdown, they're not making it either. At least they're not selling it to us.

I just read their is one facility in the US that makes Amoxicillin in TN. It opened in 2021.

Geeeeee.....now, why would there be shortage, on amoxicillan???

Same reason for the baby formula shortage? The diesel shortage? The food shortage??

These people are sick.

And, how many of these RSV cases have had the dang $hots???

Hopefully, they did not have the $hots.

Hopefully, they recover, quickly.

RSV used to be a nothingburger, for kids (every year), up until recently. :-(

Like in auto parts though, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia are upping their market share, as China moves up the wage scale.

My guess...its just another cheap drug that's completely out sourced to China India or some 3rd world country ...
