FDA announces amoxicillin shortage, cites increased demand and manufacturing issues as causes

November 10, 2022 -

In an Oct. 28 announcement, the regulator said the shortage applies to "amoxicillin oral powder." Pharmacists use the powdered form of the antibiotic to prepare a liquid version that is easier to administer to young children. An FDA spokesperson explained that such supply issues can occur for many reasons – including manufacturing, quality problems, delays and discontinuations.

"This shortage is a challenging one as some of the commonly prescribed strengths ...

Emergency rooms packed with children sick with RSV due as amoxicillin shortage rages

November 21, 2022 -

Moreover, parents were reported to be struggling to fill their kids' prescriptions as major pharmacies ran out of stock of the said antibiotic. They were also forced to call out of work to care for their sick children. Notably, antibiotics don't treat RSV, meaning amoxicillin is useless against the infection, even though it is routinely prescribed by doctors as part of the "treatment."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that the U.S. is facing a ...

America running out of key antibiotics and respiratory drugs for children amid “tripledemic”

Study shows children are typically prescribed two antibiotics for pneumonia unnecessarily, with no proven additional benefit in health outcomes

August 31, 2018 -

Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center have revealed that administering amoxicillin on its own is a better option compared to combining it with azithromycin. Simply decreasing the number of drugs administered can help minimize the instances of antibiotic resistance across the country. (Related: White kids take twice as many antibiotics as other kids, putting them at higher risk, study finds.)

According to the company, the shortages were caused by a significant increase in demand triggered by the rising rate of syphilis infections. Bicillin's recent use as an alternative to the more common amoxicillin ...

Can common antibiotics harm your heart? Research links them to increased risk of heart conditions

January 25, 2021 - amoxicillin (another antibiotic) or no antibiotic at all. They calculated that the number of deaths per one million courses of antibiotics would be about 85 among azithromycin patients, versus 32 among amoxicillin patients and 30 among those not taking an antibiotic.

The researchers found that the azithromycin patients were twice more likely to die while taking the drug. There would be 47 extra heart-related deaths per one million courses of azithromycin ...

June 25, 2018 -

What is MRSA?

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), or MRSA, is a group of bacteria – also referred to as a superbug – that is resistant to common antibiotics like amoxicillin, methicillin, oxacillin, and penicillin. When left untreated, a MRSA infection can be fatal.

There are three kinds of MRSA:

While HA-MRSA is more resistant to antibiotics than CA-MRSA, both types may cause severe infections.

To avoid MRSA, ...

CVS sued for conspiring to overcharge insured patients for prescription drugs

David Balto, a former policy director of the Federal Trade Commission, has called CVS' alleged misconduct egregious and noted that PBMs are in need of government regulation. Balto noted that no market is as loosely regulated as PBMs, and that they are taking great advantage of it. Letting PBMs continue in this lax regulatory environment could mean higher drug prices for consumers, Balto added....

Extract from leaves of Vernonia colorata found to have potent anti-microbial effects

April 08, 2020 - amoxicillin, tetracycline and erythromycin, ranged between 0.1 to 16 mcg/mL. Modulation studies showed that the addition of 0.2 mg/mL vernolide to varying concentrations of the antibiotics -- specifically, 0.0005 to 4 mcg/mL, which were well below their observed MICs -- helped prevent microbial growth.

These results show that vernolide can increase the efficacy of conventional antibiotics by lowering bacterial resistance. Based on their findings, the researchers concluded ...
