Pharma group: Efforts underway to replenish med stocks in the market

Efforts are underway to replenish the stocks of medicine in the market, the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines said on Saturday, Jan. 8

In the “Laging Handa” public briefing, PHAP Vice President Jannette Jakosalem said that only specific brands of drugs in several branches are temporarily out of stock and efforts are ongoing to replenish it. “Ang obserbasyon po namin ay nagkakaroon nga ng temporary out of stock situation sa mga mangilan-ilan na botika natin at para doon sa selected na brands – usually ay mga brand po ng paracetamol ,” said Jakosalem.

“Ongoing po ‘yung replenishment, pero kapag bigla naman kasing taas ng bili o requirement ng gamot talagang minsan po ay ‘di maiiwasan na maubusan ng stock sa botika ,” she added.“Parehas lang po ang effectivity nyan. Sinisigurado naman po ng Food and Drug Administration natin na hindi nila ia-approve ang pagbebenta ng mga gamot kung hindi ‘yan dumaan sa masusing testing ,” she reiterated.

In order to prevent the consumption of fake medicines, Jakosalem advised the public to buy medicines only from licensed drugstores.
