KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — The current shortage of medicine at pharmacies in the country, especially for over-the-counter medicine, has worsened in recent weeks partly due to the latest spike in not only Covid-19 infections but also outbreaks in influenza and hand, foot and mouth disease .reported that many OTC medicine such as paracetamol, cough syrups and lozenges for sore throat have been in low supply since last month.

"Most pharmacies and clinics are out of stock on medications such as Clarinase for flu and blocked nose, and Betadine for sore throat. "In the meantime, if we are faced with an unexpected disease outbreak, it will trigger a crisis,” he was quoted saying, adding that mouth ulcer sprays are also running short due to the current surge of HFMD cases.
