KUALA LUMPUR: Several pharmacies across the Klang Valley have run out of antiviral drugs following a surge in influenza cases nationwide, particularly among children.
A pharmacist said oseltamivir syrup, which is commonly prescribed for children, and the tablet form for adults have been out of stock for the past two weeks.
"There's usually a seasonal increase in demand for influenza antivirals every year, but this time the purchases are more significant.
"This may be due to greater public awareness, with more people seeking medical attention after showing symptoms, since a doctor's prescription is required to purchase antiviral medication," she said.
When asked about claims of price increases, the pharmacist dismissed them, saying the prices remain unchanged - RM165 for a 100ml syrup bottle and RM190 for a pck of 10 tablets.
Another pharmacy also reported running out of oseltamivir syrup nearly a week ago, with only adult tablets still available.
