Brexit and inhaler shortages

What really worries me is that after keeping ourselves safe from the virus at enormous personal cost at the end of the year we will have a no-deal brexit, or whatever the government likes to call it now. It's been clear that there will be a shortage of medicines and one of those medicines will be inhalers. So we will all be stuffed anyway.

the expression, don't worry it may never happen comes to mind.

Sure if you pay attention to and believe the mind chatter and scare mongering of the media you will have health issues over something that may never actually be a problem.

Life is too short to worry about something that may not affect us.

We're stuffed any way if you believe we are.

It’s not scare-mongering by the media, as pharma companies, chemists and reputable authorities such as the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the MHRA have expressed concerns too. It suits some people to brush this aside but this could be a real problem and, like you, I am worried.

A lot of these drugs actually come from India and Singapore. My neighbour is the CEO of a company which imports them and he has been happily preparing for the move from the EU cartel to a more open market. I am pretty sure that we don't need to worry.

My Bolivian familys neighbours are Ceo's for their local cartel of pharmacutical producers,they have no problems importing into the Uk and the EU,in fact their products are available worldwide,unfortunately none of their medicines are suitable for the treatment of lung diseases .
