1h agoTwo of the largest pharmaceutical companies are now
limiting purchases of children’s pain relief medications.
The announcement
comes as many Americans are struggling to track down the over-the-counter
medication.
Walgreens
will only allow six over the counter purchases.
Meanwhile,
CVS will allow customers to buy two pain relief products - either online
or in person.
Health experts say it has become increasingly difficult to find the medication due to both supply-chain issues and what experts are calling a "tripledemic" of flu, RSV and COVID-19 cases.
