List of links by EU country.
Ireland(because it's in English).
As the Ireland list says repeatedly, "(multiple countries affected)". Appears to be a list of 180 drugs with a shortage. (did a text search in the page for "date of shortage", it appears 181 times, subtract one for the table header).
Did a similar type of check for France. It appears to have around 170 on their list. ("med.gif" appears 174 times in page source).[COLOR=Silver] |
Yep, there are always hiccups in manufacturing and distribution and it does go to show how delicate the supply chains are in the pharmaceutical world.
If people are really interested, there are weekly updates on what drugs are currently banned from export from the UK due to shortages and internal needs. Here's the current list -

Note that the list seems short as generic names are used and all presentations are kept together where appropriate
Seems to be a lot of contraceptive pills on there!
If you get caught exporting when you shouldn't, a world of pain will be coming to that exporter...
