PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – As flu cases ramp up, several local pharmacies are struggling to keep Tamiflu in stock, including the Medicine Shoppe along Bailey Avenue in Mount Washington. They’ve been out of stock for about a month. “A lot of main wholesalers are all out of it,” said Medicine Shoppe owner Jamie Wyles. “We do shop a lot of secondary wholesalers looking for it, but no one seems to have any at the moment.” Owners of some local pharmacies said sourcing Tamiflu has been hit or miss so far this flu season. Tamiflu is used to treat flu symptoms within 48 hours. Wyles said it’s concerning that they are seeing a shortage of it this early in the season. Normally it happens later in January or February. “Right now, it’s nowhere to be found,” said Wyles. This comes at a time when flu cases in Pennsylvania are high, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And there have been almost 8,000 more cases in Allegheny County compared to this time last year, according to the county’s health department. If you get a prescription for Tamiflu, double check with your pharmacy to see if they have it before you go. Blueberry Pharmacy in West View said they have Tamiflu in stock. Doctors say the best way to fight the flu is by getting a flu shot.
