Hell, the US shortage is so bad my usual pharmacy told me they wouldn't be honoring my prescription, everyone I called refused to answer if they could and would usually just hang up on me, and my Dr refused to help find someone

Kinda don't blame the UK if it's anything like that there

One of my kids just started on 2 different medications in Canada and we had no problem. Wouldn't have even thought there were shortages elsewhere

It's because of how your province negotiated the contract for the drugs. I guarantee that there's language in there that has penalties if there's supply problems.

Countries that don't negotiate drug prices/contracts are the ones that are suffering with shortages.

Keep in mind It adds to the price for those conditions.
