Pharmacists are reporting a UK-wide shortage of antibiotics that are used to treat strep A. Demand for penicillin and amoxicillin has increased in recent days as the number of cases of strep A has risen among children in schools.

We’d like to hear from pharmacists, GPs, other health professionals and parents about whether they have experienced issues with the supply of antibiotics to treat strep A.
