No disruption to medicine supply, says MOH

PUTRAJAYA: There has been no significant disruption to the supply of medicine with the active ingredient of paracetamol for fever and mild pain, vitamin C as well as cough and cold medicine in the market, says the Health Ministry.

“This is because most of the products have alternatives from various brands,” said the ministry’s senior director of pharmaceutical services Norhaliza A. Halim in a statement yesterday, to clarify news reports of an alleged shortage of medicine.
