Antibiotics prices ‘hiked up to take advantage’ of demand

A pharmaceutical industry leader said the price of Amoxicillin has risen from 80p to £18 following "volatile spikes in demand for drugs".

The price of the antibiotics required to treat Strep A has soared, according to experts in the field, who say that prices have increased to capitalise on “unprecedented” demand.

As a 16th child died in Sussex from a suspected illness on Friday, many pharmacists have issued warnings that they are unable to obtain the necessary Strep A drugs, despite the government’s insistence that there are “sufficient” stocks and dismissing worries of a nationwide shortage.

However, a senior executive in the pharmaceutical sector who consented to an anonymous interview with Sky News revealed that the price of the antibiotic Amoxicillin had increased from 80p to £18.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
