Ritalin Shortage
Wednesday, February 15 on CB S4 at 11 PM - shortages of drugs for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have patients and their families on a hunt for pharmacies that have those drugs in stock. According to data provided by IMS Health, the shortages affect drugs that generated a combined 24.2 million prescriptions in 2010. As Cynthia Demos reveals, this is not really a medical issue, but more of a political problem instead.
