Yesterday I went to the pharmacy and heard that there is a shortage of Ibuprofen 600mg.

Has anyone heard of it ?

I would be grateful for replies.

No idea about shortages, but it's just a higher, prescription level dose of a widely available off the shelf drug. You could always buy the normal 200mg ibuprofen tablets and take three.

Thank you acc1 for your reply.

I have only wondered if anyone had the same problem.

I live near the welsh boarder and quiet regular I hear over drug shortage from my pharmacy. You can wonder if the NHS is on the way of collapsing, that they can't afford the drugs.

Or is it the Pharmacy???

Not what you're looking for?
