Swedish medicine supply could be affected by Shanghai's Covid lockdown
The lockdown of China's commercial capital Shanghai, due to covid-19, could eventually disrupt the supply of some medicines in Sweden.
That's according to the Medical Products Agency and the business association for pharmaceutical companies in Sweden, LIF.
Older drugs, where the patent has expired, are often manufactured in China or India, including antibiotics and painkillers containing paracetamol, ibuprofen and diklofenak.
