US Supply Remains Robust

The increased demand isn’t issue impacting Canada alone as supply challenges have been reported in other countries, according to CPhA.

The Consumer Healthcare Products Association stated its view on the US supply of children's pain relievers on 11 November.

“As flu season begins, CHPA remains in close contact with our member companies who are currently meeting the elevated demand for safe and effective children’s pain reliever products. Our members are focused on safeguarding the US by maximizing product production,” the trade group said.

J&J notes there’s no shortage of children’s Tylenol in the US.

However, according to reports, the products are increasingly harder to find in US cities that border Canada, such as Buffalo and Detroit.
