The months-long shortage of children’s pain medications will see a bit of relief soon.
Emergency supplies of pain and fever medication are expected to arrive soon from manufacturers in the US and Australia.
Special imports of ibuprofen from the United States are awaiting distribution, according to Health Canada.
There is also an expected shipment of acetaminophen coming from Australia.
The national shortage has sent many parents and caregivers scouring shelves for the past several months.
Health experts are warning not to panic buy the over-the-counter medications, especially since they do eventually expire.
