Mission parents are scrambling to find common children91裸聊视频檚 pain relievers as pharmacy shelves remain empty.

Local Facebook pages are filled with parents begging others to share such medications as children91裸聊视频檚 Tylenol and Advil.

91裸聊视频淢y child is suffering and nobody seems to know why pharmacies are out of such a basic item,91裸聊视频� wrote one parent. 91裸聊视频淒oes anyone have any extra they could share.91裸聊视频�

Another parent was offering to pay double the price for some Tylenol.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 happy to pay extra if it will help my baby boy,91裸聊视频� the parent wrote.

The Record visited multiple Mission pharmacies and found empty shelves for the product.

Some parents are blaming other parents for 91裸聊视频渉oarding91裸聊视频� the pain relievers.

Health Canada says special imports of ibuprofen from the U.S. are waiting for distribution, while acetaminophen imports from Australia are imminent.

It isn91裸聊视频檛 saying how much is expected or how the stock will be split among hospitals.

Barry Power, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Pharmacists Association, told the Canadian Press that while supply chain interruptions have contributed to the problem, an unexpected summer spike in the circulation of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, seems to be driving high consumer demand, said Power.

Drug manufacturers are ramping up production to get these pain relievers back in stock come fall cold and flu season, he added.

A months-long shortage of children91裸聊视频檚 pain and fever medication has sent many parents and caregivers scouring bare shelves and swapping tips on drug sightings.

As media reports have stoked unfounded concerns that children91裸聊视频檚 pain relievers now require a doctor91裸聊视频檚 note, Power cautioned parents against making panic purchases.

91裸聊视频淲e really want to reiterate that you do not need a prescription,91裸聊视频� said Power. 91裸聊视频淟et91裸聊视频檚 not drive people into doctors91裸聊视频� offices and pharmacies with prescriptions if we don91裸聊视频檛 need to.91裸聊视频�

Some children91裸聊视频檚 hospitals have taken steps to maintain supplies of liquid Tylenol and Advil for patients who are admitted, and are helping find solutions for children who are discharged.

Tylenol91裸聊视频檚 manufacturer said its children91裸聊视频檚 products are still available in stores and online.

91裸聊视频淲e continue to experience increased consumer-driven demand and are taking all possible measures to ensure product availability,91裸聊视频� Johnson & Johnson said.

A spokesman for Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada, an industry group that counts Johnson & Johnson as a member, said there are 91裸聊视频減ockets91裸聊视频� of Canada where shortages have happened, but downplayed the severity of the issue.

91裸聊视频淚n many cases, if there91裸聊视频檚 a shortage at a particular pharmacy, those parents that are looking for that product are able to go to a secondary pharmacy and often find it without that much trouble,91裸聊视频� said Anthony Fuchs.

As Canadians have emerged from COVID-19 lockdown, there is high demand for cold and flu medication, said Michelle Wasylyshen, a spokeswoman for the Retail Council of Canada.

There have been rolling shortages of certain pain relievers in recent months, and some places have been hit harder than others, said Wasylyshen.
