PETALING JAYA: The federal medicine stockpile will be released to private clinics from today, starting with paracetamol, to address the shortage of medicines.

“The release of certain medicines from the federal government stockpile to private clinics to address medicine shortage will start today with paracetamol.

“If you are asked to buy PCM at private clinics with the KKM logo, it is from the stockpile and is proper,“ Health Minister Khairy tweeted today.

On July 15, he said that the medicine shortage mostly involved antibiotics, paediatric medication, cough syrups and medicines for food poisoning, fever and flu.
