Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children and Ottawa's CHEO say they're facing shortages of common pain relievers amid supply disruptions.

“Dear Caregiver letters are routinely distributed to patients and families,” SickKids said. “In many cases, if there’s a shortage at a particular pharmacy, those parents that are looking for that product are able to go to a secondary pharmacy and often find it without that much trouble,” said Anthony Fuchs.

Two Ontario children’s hospitals have taken steps to maintain supplies of liquid Tylenol and Advil for patients who are admitted, and are helping find solutions for children who are discharged.
