5COINS PHARMA: Transforming Japan’s Over-the-Counter Medicine Market
While Japan’s ubiquitous 100-yen shops are well-known, a new disruptor in the affordable retail sector is turning heads: the 500-yen pharmacy model. At the forefront of this trend is 5COINS PHARMA…
FDA to pull common but ineffective cold medicine from market
The FDA says oral phenylephrine, used in many over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, "is not effective as a nasal decongestant."
Indeed, there are a LOT of over the counter shortages of medically-necessary supplies from 2020 and continuing even now.
Extreme dry mouth/nose? Lots of products are never or only briefly in stock.
Same goes for a lot of Rx meds too, but usually those reappear on a more definable timeline. OTC? Who knows???!? 😡

What's going on with glucose supplies? 😱
I haven't been able to find any tablets for at least two months now except for occasional batches of unaffordably-over-priced small-batch tablet tubes and some orange-flavoured bottles (also overpriced and I'd rather not risk triggering a reaction to whatever makes it taste like an orange).
