We Were Up All Night Last Week; Here is Why
The head of our procurement team was up all night a few nights last week working with our approved supply network, which spans several countries and time zones. Procurement efforts remain important to help ensure continuity in the supply of affordable medications for our customers as second waves of the pandemic spread in various regions, creating a risk of more prescription drug shortages internationally.
Drug Shortage Concerns Everywhere
In the UK, there are already shortages of various important medicines as their second wave takes off, so much so that doctors there have called for changes to laws to permit pharmacists to alter prescriptions. At least 200 drugs have been placed on an export ban in the UK due to shortages.
For wisely skeptical consumers who may be inclined to think all this is marketing hype to stimulate sales, we encourage you to learn why that is not the case.
Covid-19-related shocks to integrated pharmaceutical production systems have also led to serious concerns being expressed by drug manufacturers, the American Medical Association, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the European Union, and pharmacists in the United Kingdom and Canada about the disruption in the supply of pharmaceuticals since the coronavirus crisis began. In this regard, we previously featured leading doctors and pharmacists in Canada confirming prescription drug shortages, 'across the board' which could "imperil … lives". The Wall Street Journal is one of several media outlets reporting this issue and a member of Congress from Pennsylvania penned an Op-Ed piece on this very topic. The publication, MDLinx for healthcare professionals, recently highlighted the issue of critical drug shortages caused by Covid-19.
For wisely skeptical consumers who may be inclined to think this is all marketing hype to stimulate sales, we encourage you to learn why that is not the case.
It is Incredibly Frustrating When Your Medication is Shorted
Many have experienced their medication being out of stock at their local pharmacies since the pandemic began due to drug shortages caused by the coronavirus crisis. But many have also learned they have a distinct advantage during times of drug shortages through NorthWestPharmacy.com by virtue of our sourcing of products from our vetted, trusted and licensed supply network for more than a decade. When these customers could not acquire their vital medicines locally or anywhere else, we have been able to quickly source them and at lower prices from one or more of our approved suppliers and get them on their way to the customers.
… there have been prescription drugs that were out of stock worldwide during the pandemic and despite our best efforts in such cases, medication may be unavailable.
Despite our robust sourcing capabilities, however, there have been prescription drugs that were out of stock worldwide during the pandemic and despite our best efforts in such cases, medication may be unavailable. While we are working hard to anticipate inventory needs and secure difficult to source products as the second wave of Covid-19 is spreading, we are mindful that we cannot anticipate and adjust for every circumstance.
When an important pharmaceutical product you rely on is out of stock everywhere, it is frustrating for you since it can impact your health. It is also frustrating to us because we know it is our job to get you the medicine you need. It is truly crushing for our team members to experience a customer feeling let down when it comes to something as important as their health and wellbeing, even if the situation is entirely outside of our control.
