Recently, a laxative called Magmil is said to be out of stock.
Why, let's take a look.
Magmeal is an antacid containing magnesium hydroxide, and is often prescribed as a laxative.
It is known that there are relatively few side effects, so it is said that many pregnant women and cancer patients, as well as the elderly, are looking for it.
However, recently, an article has been posted on the online community asking for a pharmacy that sells 'Magmil is out of stock'.
This is due to a sudden shortage and a temporary cut off of raw material supply.
The pharmaceutical company said, "Around August or September of last year, we received a notice from a Japanese company that was receiving raw materials that we could not supply them."
Production resumed after securing new raw material yarns, but it was estimated that it would take several months for the shortage to be resolved.
In the wake of this incident, the issue of self-sufficiency in raw material medicines, which are highly dependent on foreign countries, is being discussed again.
