Jake Reid, the executive director of the New Brunswick Pharmacists’ Association, says cold and flu medications are still in short supply across the province.

Reid says the medications are still in high demand, as several viruses, including COVID-19, RSV, and the seasonal flu are circulating around New Brunswick.

He says the demand for these meds is heightened around the world, so there’s little pharmacies can do to increase their stock.

Reid added that individuals should not panic-buy these medications, and instead should speak with medical professionals to determine what medication, if any, is right for them.
