Have you popped down the chemist lately and found the medicine you need hasn't been restocked?

That's the reality for thousands of Australians right now, as we endure medicine shortages across hundreds of different drugs, some that will put people's lives at risk if they can't be found. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at medicine supply issues, why they're still happening, how we can fix it and how you can get the drugs you need to keep your health under control.
