An unusually fast start to the annual flu season, plus a spike in other respiratory illnesses, created a surge in demand for fever relievers.
Several doctors are issuing a warning after a shortage of certain children's medications led to parents using adult medications instead. FOX 13 Tampa's Kellie Cowan spoke with LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow about the stern warning.
Walgreens has ended limits it had imposed recently for online purchases of children’s over-the-counter fever reducing products. The drugstore chain said improved supplies allowed it to lift its restriction of six products. The company had placed no limit on in-store purchases. Last month both Walgreens and CVS Health restricted purchases of some over-the-counter children’s medicines citing supply issues. CVS Health put a two-product limit on all children’s pain relief products bought through its pharmacies or online.
A sign is placed near the section for children's medicine, Monday, Dec.19, 2022 at a Walgreens, in New York, United States. A CVS Health spokeswoman said Tuesday that limits on some children's medicines remain in place. She did not offer a time frame for when it might end.
