'We will have something that will do the job': Message from Greater Manchester pharmacy leader amid cold and flu medicines shortage
A Greater Manchester pharmacy leader has moved to reassure those suffering from cold and flu symptoms that there are remedies available to help them, despite shortages being reported.
Fin McCaul, Chairman of the Greater Manchester Local Pharmaceutical Committee , and himself a pharmacist based in Prestwich, said there was 'definitely a shortage of lots of medicines' in the local pharmacy system, including virtually all of the major cough and cold remedies. "I think also, this winter has caught the manufacturers by surprise. Because if we look at the last two winters, we have not been anywhere as busy as we are now for this sort of medicine. Mainly because we've all been wearing masks and not moving about as much and not seeing as many people as much.
"So whilst it might not be what you usually have, we will have something that will do the job and will help you." "There will be some version of it available, it just may not be the brand that they want" he added. "We would have conversations if needed. There's something wrong if you need more than one cough bottle, certainly no more than two. We would restrict if we needed to but people haven't been silly in that respect. People have been only buying it when they need it and that's helping ease the situation."
"Tthis is part of a bigger issue – from HRT to antibiotics to this, we are constantly finding ourselves in a situation when as soon as the demand for something goes up we are struggling with the supply" she said. "I'm not an expert on the logistics and understanding of the cough medicine situation so it's difficult for me to comment on that" he said.
