Pfizer is facing a shortage of penicillin due to increased demand and more diagnoses of syphilis, the company said in a letter to its customers this week.
The company said there is an "impending stock out situation" for select Bicillin L-A and Bicillin C-R prefilled syringes, Pfizer's brand name of injectable penicillin.
Prefilled Bicillin L-A pediatric syringes are expected to begin running low by the end of June, while all Bicillin C-R syringes could begin diminishing in the third quarter of this year.
Inventory is predicted to start recovering in the second and third quarters of 2024, Pfizer said.

The "body count" mentality of this generation will lead to all kinds of shortages when it comes to stuff to treat social diseases.
