The conflict in the Middle East also affects medicines: The price of paracetamol

The prices of widely used drugs in England, including paracetamol and allergy medicines, have risen sharply following the economic impacts of the war in Iran, pharmacists have warned.

According to the National Pharmacy Association, the price of paracetamol has increased by 20–30% since February, while some drugs such as cetirizine for seasonal allergies have also seen similar increases.

Pharmacists say rising fuel prices and transport costs, caused by the conflict in Iran, have directly impacted the UK's medicines supply chain.

In some cases, supply costs for pharmacies have increased by 40–50%.

Also, air transport costs have doubled, affecting the supply of medicines used by the public health service in England.

According to the Community Pharmacy Association, some pharmacies have already experienced temporary shortages of medicines such as aspirin and co-codamol, while others have stopped selling aspirin without a prescription.

Experts warn that if tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue and supply chains remain blocked, there could be further price increases or even more serious shortages of medicines.

According to pharmacists, this situation is putting increased pressure on the UK healthcare system, also increasing the public health service's drug bill.
