A pharmacist has raised the alarm on her TikTok channel about a medicine that is running out of stock in Spain. “We have a problem in pharmacies“he stated Claudialvega through a video published on said social network.
As this professional explains, “it has been many weeks since we do not receive Methylphenidatealso known as Rubicrono, Concerta, Atenza…”.
This drug is used as part of the treatment for managing symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults and children, according to collected by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM).
This pharmacist explains that they are not receiving this medication “of no dose: not even 18 mg, 27 mg, 36 mg, 54 mg… nothing at all,” he lamented.
Likewise, the lack of this drug has been “communicated to the Ministry of Health at the national level,” he indicated, before expressing his concern: “There is not one in all of Spain and it is exasperating.“he said.
In this sense, he commented that “many people are calling us and coming here to the pharmacy, saying that in their reference pharmacy, in surrounding pharmacies, that there is none, that They are desperate calling everywhere… And it is impossible to achieve it,” he reiterated.
According to this pharmacist, “there are many people who depend on this medication“, that is why he feels helpless at not being able to give an alternative to those who ask him about said drug.
“The only solution is to talk to the doctor and see if can replace it for something else,” he concluded.
