MELAKA: There is a sufficient supply of paracetamol in Melaka's community pharmacies although a popular brand has run out because of the high demand among consumers in the state due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Melaka Malaysian Pharmacists Society (MPS) deputy chairman Soh Lai Yoke said the disruption of supply of the popular brand was reported a week ago as suppliers and manufacturers were also affected.
