Utah parents and doctors are struggling to get essential children's medicine as the state experiences a surge in winter illnesses.
Utah parents and doctors are struggling to get essential children's medicine as the state experiences a surge in winter illnesses.Stores are running out of children's Tylenol and pharmacists are trying to reformulate adult doses of antivirals like Tamiflu, Intermountain Healthcare doctors said Thursday in a news conference.
Primary Children's is so full that about 150 surgeries were canceled in the past three weeks to free up doctors, nurses and beds for kids with winter illnesses.The outbreak of viruses like flu and RSV is dovetailing with supply chain problems that have led to multiple drug shortages in the past two years.
When a pharmacy doesn't have the prescribed strength, patients often have to search multiple pharmacies or revisit their doctor for a new prescription.The shortages are so bad that some health care providers are creating online tutorials showing parents how to re-dose adult drugs for kids, said Per Gesteland, a pediatric hospitalist at University Health and Primary Children's.
