News of "drug shortage" appear frequently. Friends who work or study in Singapore are worried that there is no medicine at home, so many people go to pharmacies to buy antipyretics. Especially for those who have plans to return home in the near future, or those who are transiting in Singapore and want to return home, various brands of cold medicines, especially Banadhoo, are the most popular...
Many friends queuing up at the mailing point hold at least 10 boxes of medicines. Most of them have done research in advance to determine what items can be sent before purchasing.
Generally speaking, what is mailed is Banadhu (for treating colds and fevers, available in every household in Singapore), Lianhua Qingwen capsules , cough drops, throat sprays and vitamin C effervescent tablets.
However, a person familiar with the matter said that the current express delivery from Singapore may take a month to arrive due to various reasons!

Not only in Singapore, it can be said that almost everywhere with Chinese/Chinese people, there is a fever for buying medicine.
In Hong Kong, China, local pharmacies are in short supply of cold medicines such as "Banadu" and "Happiness Cold Medicine". Many pharmacies had no choice but to issue purchase restriction orders!

In addition, the antipyretic drugs in overseas online stores on some platforms have also been sold out, and some online stores have launched limited-time purchase models. Many merchants specializing in overseas purchasing have also raised the prices of antipyretic drugs. The current prices of various imported antipyretic drugs are confusing, with the highest price difference for the same drug being as high as 9 times.
However, whether it is a purchasing agent or overseas direct mail on the platform, it will take more than a week to arrive in China. In this regard, experts recommend rational preparation of medicines. It is not advisable to use overseas purchasing platforms to purchase too many fever medicines and blindly stockpile medicines.
There are also overseas purchasing agents that are annoying to watch. The VC, cold medicine, antipyretics, and painkillers in the studio are all empty. In the past two days, more than 40 boxes of cold medicine have been released, more than 230 boxes of VC from Jeju Island have been released, and more than 20 boxes of Japanese painkillers EVE have been released. We can no longer purchase them locally in Japan (Osaka).
Even constipation medicines are sold out, it’s amazing!
not only has a large shipment volume, but the price has also increased. At present, the prices of this category have basically increased by about 10%. The sharpest increase is in Thai VC. Since Jeju Island VC is out of stock, items that originally cost less than 40 yuan (excluding shipping costs) can now be sold for 110 yuan. Feedback from overseas procurement sources is that procurement is very difficult.
For some categories that are currently out of stock, it is estimated that they will be available in half a month. Coupled with the transportation period, they will also be available in China by then, so there is no need to purchase large quantities.
can still be said to have a large amount of goods, so be careful. Not only may there be fake goods, but the platform may also be trying to make money and run away without having any goods at all.

But!
Speaking from people’s experience, most netizens hold these two views:
1) Don’t be nervous about buying medicines
2) With China’s production capacity, there will be no shortage of pharmaceutical supplies
...
Prior to this, many experts also called on consumers to purchase medicines rationally instead of blindly hoarding medicines.
An infectious disease expert said that new crown is a self-limiting disease and is currently mainly asymptomatic. Most people's bodies can recover on their own without taking medication. It is not recommended to blindly buy antiviral drugs because some drugs may have limited effects and have many side effects.If you need to prepare medicines, you can prepare some relatively symptomatic medicines, such as antipyretics, but there is still no need to stock up on a large amount of medicines.
...
Therefore, what is more terrifying than the epidemic is the panic caused by people's hearts!
Or some people with ulterior motives are making a lot of money again!
sanity!
