Ramon Lopez, the secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry, said Wednesday that manufacturers of paracetamol and flu medicines have told him not to put a cap on the amount of these drugs that people can buy because there aren’t enough of them in some parts of the country.

Last week, the manufacturer said that because they could supply, there was no need to put a cap on how many pills people could buy. The drugstores would also be able to set their own quantity limits if they saw that people were buying too many.

He said that they have asked pharmaceutical companies and drugstores to get paracetamol and other flu medicines back in stock quickly. He said that the tight supply was mostly because of the timing of deliveries.

People who work for pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies didn’t expect a big spike in demand for paracetamol and flu medicines after the New Year, so they had normal supplies of these drugs. This is what Lopez said in a radio interview with DZMM.

Paracetamol and other flu medicines aren’t running out, he told me.

Unilab, a pharmaceutical company, told the DTI that it would speed up deliveries this week because of the rise in demand for these medicines, Lopez said.

For Watsons, they’ve already started, and Watsons says they’ll be distributing to their stores today. He said that for Mercury (Drug), they will start delivering on Thursday instead of this coming Saturday.

PHAP vice president Jannette Jakosalem also said there are no shortages of paracetamol and flu medicines in the Philippines.

People who work for pharmaceutical companies say that they will be able to get more supplies in Metro Manila in two to three days.

Lopez and Jakosalem told people not to keep these medicines and only buy them when they need them.
