    EUSSR fifth columnists spreading false rumours about medication shortages

    Remember: 'loose lips sink ships'.

    Pharmacists warn of a 'surge' in shortage of common medicines - BBC News

    Pharmacists say they are struggling to obtain many common medicines and paying "vastly increased" prices for them.

    This is leaving patients complaining of delays in getting hold of drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants and blood pressure medication.

    The BBC has found there has been a big rise in the number of drugs on the "shortage of supply" list for England.

    There are 80 medicines in such short supply that the Department of Health has agreed to pay a premium for them.

    This is up from 45 in October.

    There are a number of reasons why this has happened, but there are now concerns that uncertainty over Brexit will only make the situation worse.

    The Royal Pharmaceutical Society said there was "a massive shortage and price spikes".

    What does this mean for patients?
    Most people should be able to get their prescriptions filled as normal.

    But if they need one of the drugs that is running short, they might not be so lucky.

    Some pharmacists are sending patients back to their GPs to ask for a different medicine or dosage.

    Others are giving as much of a drug as they can spare and sending people away with IOU notes for the remainder.

    The best advice is to make sure you get prescriptions to your pharmacist in good time.

    It is almost always possible to come up with an alternative.

    However, that can be more difficult with conditions like epilepsy, where patients need to be on specific drugs.

    The only uncertainty is that Brexit may not actually happen.

          It strange how the BBC never publish the bad things about the EU

          'Humiliating’ arrests of French students following exam protests condemned by politicians | The Independent

          Is it British Broadcasting Company or Brussels Broadcasting Company

          Oh and by the way there are many many videos of police brutality - such as the one where the guy kids beaten by the police in front of his wife and kids he had taken on a peaceful protest.

          Then the next question - who are the men behind the police masks - they stink more of an EU army as I do not think the french police force would beat their own people.

          Wake UP.

              They have arrested children for staging a peaceful protest.

              Are you genuinely that ******* thick that you think that is in any way shape of form acceptable and that we should be partnered with a group of people who do?

                I never said it was acceptable, just that it's not the EU.
                Although I'm not sure what the actual problem is here. Students (not children) threw rocks at police and were arrested.

                  That article was about France, not the EU. It's a shame you haven't added to the discussion about medications.

                    He might have. I think he's not been taking his meds. Post-Brexit he might take a turn for the worse.
