Medicine shortages and community pharmacists

Fighting medicine shortages takes a team. 

Community pharmacists are on the front line of medicine shortages, supporting patients, finding alternatives, and keeping treatments on track. Across Europe, pharmacists spend hours every week managing shortages, but they also play a vital role in prevention and communication.

From sourcing substitutes to reassuring patients and reducing panic buying, pharmacists help ensure that everyone continues to receive safe, effective care. Their vigilance and dedication make them an essential part of Europe’s coordinated response.

Your pharmacist is here to help. Talk to them if your usual medicine isn’t available.
