Scabies cream shortage (lemmy.ca)

I haven't seen any media reporting on this, but I have visited about ten pharmacies in Metro Vancouver this week looking for Nix 5% permethrin cream to treat scabies, and every pharmacy was out of stock. One pharmacist said that there has been a problem obtaining it from the manufacturer for about a month.

I was able to obtain enough leftover cream from a family member. However, if you get scabies, you will find it difficult to get this first-line medication.
