Add this to the list of shortages:

Everything, yes, everything that you might by from a pharmacist. Not everything in stock in a drugstore, I don't think, just stuff that you need a prescription for.

Or so said our pharmacist, and she seemed harried enough that I'm sure she's not exaggerating even a little.

Thanks for the heads up. According to drugs.com, the only drug I take that's affected-- so far-- is losartan. I have a two week supply, with 2 refills left. It won't reorder itself so I'd better get going on that.

The vast majority of the shortages is injectables. IV solutions, morphine, antibiotics, steroids, sedatives, hypnotics, antirejection meds. Yes, insulin, too. Heparin. That's a lot of drug categories.

Hospital pharmacies must be going nuts.
