Can’t find children’s Tylenol or cold medicine? Once again, Canadians are struggling with shortages caused by soaring demand. Here’s what experts say you can do.

Once again, Canadians are struggling with shortages caused by soaring demand. This time, it’s children’s cold and flu medications that arePediatric acetaminophen, like Tylenol, and ibuprofen-based Advil, both popular medications to treat children’s fever, have flown off shelves at pharmacies nationwide.

With mild fevers, home remedies may bring some relief. Cold compresses and staying hydrated are “helpful strategies if there are no red flags,” says Tadrous. Parents would need a prescription for this, however, even though Tylenol and Advil are over-the-counter drugs.

Where is Apotex? Sold to Americans. BTW; If you ar parent, buy yourself a pull cutter, then cut the adult pill to size for the kid. It is OK, It is not rocket science.

I travel to the US for business frequently and there’s plenty of these meds available. But everything on the shelf is inside locked cabinets now because of rampant shoplifting and violence. That’s new this year- welcome to Biden’s America!

Then, you will write an article inciting the thought that children’s hospitals are filled because of illnesses running rampant, whilst glossing over the other articles saying that the consequence of medicine shortages is… A BACKLOGGED HOSPITAL SYSTEM. Pick a lane.

Garbage gaslighting. Those meds have been shorted on my orders for over 2 months Why? Why is no one asking/telling us why? If parents need any…ask if your pharmacy is compounding the raw ingredients. Some places have that for immediate use.

Meanwhile, Blackface Trudeau is busy with importing third world crime for votes.

The “experts” advise: cold compresses (back to the Middle Ages), compound pharmacies by prescription (good luck with that one, since we all know there’s a physician and such pharmacy around every street corner) or cross the border to the US. Unbelievable.

Lol soaring demand? The USA with 10x the population doesn’t have a shortage. Health Canada and our boy Justin have dropped the ball
