joss.march.1 (Brandon, MB) said: instead of launching new products,rectify existing problems

wale.aderinto.1 (Windsor, ON) said: The extent of shortages being experienced now is unprecedented, never have I seen so many products on back order

judy.zhok.1 (Markham, ON) said: This is absolutely ridiculous! Really eats up a lot of time that should be spent on our patients!

gina.bae.1 (Langley, BC) said: This is getting riduculous! Patients are getting impatient and I'm getting frustrated and tired of this hoopla!

sheila.dauphinee.2 (Coldbrook, NS) said: worst I've seen in 42 years

kathy.durance.1 (Sooke, BC) said: The past several months have been an absolute nightmare scrambling, trying to find alternatives (sometimes not).

joe.walsh.1 (Arthur, ON) said: Another effect of Gov't cuts

david.brewerton.1 (Calgary, AB) said: I've spent a huge amount of time searching for short items. We have to constantly switch brands on our patients and that isn't always safe for them. The domino effect then affects other brands or strengths as well causing other problems.

gordon.johnsen.1 (Oyen, AB) said: What are the reasons for the continuing supply issues we are facing with the generic companies??

hywel.white.1 (North Bay, ON) said: the situation is dreadfull putting a lot of strain on staff and patients and as well as affecting patients continuity of therapy

irene.stronczak.1 (Hamilton, ON) said: including switching patients to a higher priced brand name product

marg.hetherington.1 (Kingston, ON) said: Its very frustrating-we try not to let patient care be compromised as we search for alternatives!

nancy.tchou.1 (Vancouver, BC) said: I have never seen such shortages of supply. What is the problem ? Apotex is the leader of the pack , not able to supply more than 10 items. Are they open for business? A lot of items have been back-ordered for six months or more

donald.jones.1 (Chesterville, ON) said: This is now a significant problem. The Ontario government has effectively destroyed the system.

maureen.balicki-bencic.1 (Brantford, ON) said: The government of Ontario shoved this generic price reduction down our throats, now these same companies must decide what they can afford to manufacture with a reasonable profit. Now this leaves us with extra work for less pay already and patients at risk because we can't always find an alternative to their meds which are not available.There are currently about 30 different drugs on back order by all companies with no release date in the near future.
