“We are having a historic shortage of things that we commonly use to treat kids with respiratory infections like liquid amoxicillin, liquid ibuprofen, liquid acetaminophen, nebs so Albuterol nebs,” said Jason Blauwet, the Director of Pharmacy at Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in Denver.
The shortages, Blauwet says, are due to the increase in demand and the high respiratory infection rate in Colorado and across the country.
