Morocco : Pharmacists warn of Covid-19 drug shortages

After deploring the publication of the names of drugs included in the treatment of the new coronavirus in Morocco, pharmacists warned against the risk of running out of stock. 

The National Association of Pharmacists of Morocco reported that after the publication of the list hundreds of people rushed into purchasing these medicines, largely intended for people with chronic diseases.

Quoted by 2m.ma, the professional organization said it is concerned about the shortage of these medicines on the market, in a letter addressed to the Minister of Health, Khalid Aït Taleb. 

In its letter, the organization called on pharmaceutical distribution companies to replace the drugs in question with similar ones. It also called for the publication of a circular to authorize pharmacies to replace the drugs in question.
