Report indicates lack of antidepressants
Key Point
- Zoroft, a popular antidepressant, is reportedly lacking
- Mental health problems caused by pandemics were seen as the cause of high demand
- FDA has assured the public that there are alternatives to rare items
The first two weeks of the coronavirus pandemic were confusing in search of common items such as toilet paper, antibacterial wipes, and surgical masks. Demand was so high that shortages of these products quickly became imminent. It is also reported today that the popular antidepressant drug Zoloft is also in short supply.
Sudden demand
There is a shortage of widely prescribed antidepressants, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. According to reports, the surge in demand may have been caused by mental health problems such as anxiety, which was likely caused by a pandemic.
Bloomberg points out that Zoloft’s prescriptions increased 12% year-on-year to about 4.9 million last March. This is the highest level of demand this drug has ever achieved in the United States. In April, Zoloft prescriptions declined slightly to 4.5 million.
Used for problems such as depression
The distribution and use of Zoloft was approved in 1991. Doctors prescribe it for the treatment of mental conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Zofloft maker Pfizer says some versions of the drug, such as 100 milligram tablets in a 100 milligram bottle, were first in short supply due to high demand.
Other generics affected
The deficiency of Zoloft also affected other drugs, especially the generic drug sertraline. The pharmaceutical companies that manufacture sertraline, Lupit Lt. and Accord Healthcare, have told the Food and Drug Administration that they don’t have enough active ingredients to make them.
But when the drug company was interviewed about the shortfall, it didn’t reveal to Bloomberg Intelligence what those ingredients were. They admitted that the drug order may last for several months.
Common events in a crisis
The Food and Drug Administration has revealed that such deficiencies have been a persistent problem for decades, and even under the best conditions. As early as February, the Fed announced that the country might be experiencing some shortages due to the very uncertain conditions brought about by the outbreak of the coronavirus.
But the FDA reassured the public that there are alternatives to the missing items. Reportedly, another reason for the shortage may have been due to plant and plant shutdowns when lockdown measures were imposed.
