French government bans online sales of paracetamol due to drug shortages

Published on

The French government banned the online sale of paracetamol-based products until the end of January, amid continuing difficulties in the supply of this frequently used pain reliever, AFP reports, Agerpres reads.

„The internet sale of specialties composed exclusively of paracetamol is suspended until January 31, 2023”, the government decreed in an order published in the Official Gazette.

This decision takes note of the fact that „tensions in the case of paracetamol-based medicines continue for more than six months”, especially for the versions intended for children.

„The various measures taken by the health authorities, however effective they may have been, have so far failed to put an end” to this phenomenon, the order acknowledges.
