Medicine Shortages Crisis Hits Patients | Bristol News

Published 1 month ago
Description

Pharmacists are sounding the alarm: a national crisis is unfolding as shortages of life-saving drugs like insulin, epilepsy meds, and Parkinson’s treatments leave patients anxious and vulnerable. With over 1,500 reported shortages in England alone, people are facing worsening symptoms, disrupted routines, and daily struggles to access their medications. While the government pushes back with plans to boost UK manufacturing and give pharmacies more flexibility to adjust prescriptions, patients like Pearl and Karen are still living with the real-world fallout — seizures, digestive crises, and the constant fear of running out. The clock is ticking to fix this broken system before it costs more lives.
