Living in a first world country and this happens, unbelievable. This shortage has been allowed to happen if there are problems internationally, how long has it been happening for? I question the use of the word surge, there isn’t a sudden increase of women hitting menopause, it’s a constant cycle in the human population. And given the world population has increased shouldn’t the pharmaceutical industry adjust accordingly?
Australia needs to be manufacturing more medicine on shore, we can’t depend on overseas for medicine especially in current times as shipping goods is problematic due to world politics and conflicts. That should be rectified by building more facilities for producing drug ingredients on shore to supply our medication supplies.
