Panadol Shortage

It is pertinent to mention that there has been a severe shortage of paracetamol products, including Panadol in the market for the past couple of weeks as government rejected demands of pharmaceutical companies for a price hike for these products, which forced them to reduce production as the drug was no longer profitable.

The situation was made worse by the increased demand caused by a surge in diseases as a result of the severe flooding and the outbreak of dengue across the country.

Furthermore, GlaxoSmithKline had announced a force majeure in the production of Panadol as the company found it hard to continue production at the lower prices as cost of production had increased rapidly.
