Covid-19 Medicines Running Out in Patna Following Oxygen Crisis
After the shortage of oxygen and oxygenated beds in hospitals, Patna is now battling a scarcity of common medicines required for treatment of mild and moderate cases of Covid-19.
While the demand for Paracetamol, Azythromycin, Doxycycline and Ivermectin was considerably high since the beginning of the rapid surge in Covid-19 cases in early April, these were now missing from inventories of many drug retailers for the past one week. Most pharmacists across the capital said they were struggling to meet their daily requirements even when paying whole-sellers or warehouses in advance.
