Not only in Alberta but also throughout the rest of Canada, there has been a severe lack of pain medication and fever reducers specifically formulated for children for several months now.
On Tuesday, December 6, 2022, the provincial government of Alberta took action to solve the issue.**
Premier Danielle Smith made the announcement that the province has successfully acquired five million units of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Atabay Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals, with its headquarters in Turkey, are the suppliers of this consignment. The government of the province has stated that the drug will be produced in a facility that is recognized by Health Canada. Officials emphasized that the company already had Health Canada permission for the basic materials it uses in its products.
