Ibuprofen

Post by mushroom »

Just wondering if anyone else seems to have found a shortage of Ibuprofen on the shelves at the moment - or is it just me! I usually throw a couple of cheap packs of home brand Ibuprofen and Paracetamol in the trolly each time I visit a supermarket. The last couple of times (at least) that I've been to Lidls the shelf was bare apart from Neurofen. Then popped to Asda yesterday - and it was exactly the same there! Perhaps there is just a run on it in Devon!!

I work for a supermarket and we had some of our own brand ones in at start of the week as I picked a pack of Ibuprofen up as I had a headache in work but have to admit I normally buy Nurofen from poundland along with the odd beechams pack as and when I need them....reminds me I need to go look I think I used a pack up recently and im not sure it got replaced :shock:

Thanks unsure, kind offer, but I'm fine - they are something I always keep in store... just thought it strange that there seemed to be a shortage!
