Both CVS and Walgreens announced Monday that demand had strained in-store availability across the country of children’s formulations of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, both of which aim to reduce pain and fevers.
CVS will limit purchases to two children’s pain relief products in CVS stores and online. Walgreens will implement a six-item limit on online purchases (sales at its physical locations are not limited).
“Due to increased demand and various supplier challenges, over-the-counter pediatric fever reducing products are seeing constraint across the country. In an effort to help support availability and avoid excess purchases, we put into effect an online only purchase limit of six per online transaction for all over-the-counter pediatric fever reducers,” Walgreens said in a statement.
As for CVS, a spokesperson said, “We can confirm that to ensure equitable access for all our customers, there is currently a two (2) product limit on all children’s pain relief products. We’re committed to meeting our customers’ needs and are working with our suppliers to ensure continued access to these items.”
