All things Pharma! Whether you are in the industry, interested in organic chemistry, or antique pharmaceutical novelties.

Scientific articles are preferred but not required as long as discussion is sparked.

No requests or sourcing for illegal sales/possession or any of that nonsense

Respect for each individual. That means we expect nurses to not post constant complaints about hospital pharmacy and we can't talk about how nurses almost always refuse counsel. Light hearted and silly is encouraged though because pharmacy right now in all forms is absolutely bananas and some reprieve is crucial to mental health.

I didn’t think I’d have to say it, but don’t post ridiculous political articles bUt ThINk oF ThE cHilDren rhetoric and scare tactics. This is not the place for grandstanding.

Would love to enlist an RPh as a mod so if interested, let me know****

  • Pfizer will run out of several doses of penicillin, which treat syphilis, strep throat, and other infections, later this year as shortages ripple across the US supply chain.

  • Cancer drugs, including widely used cisplatin and carboplatin, are in such short supply that doctors are rationing care, asking patients to drive long distances for treatment, or turning to alternative treatments with riskier side effects.

  • Cocoa prices have soared 44% over the last nine months to seven-year highs as the global cocoa bean deficit worsens for the second consecutive year.

  • Sugar prices hit decade highs on global shortage fears in April. And robusta coffee prices hit a record high days ago on supply fears.

  • The number of people facing acute food insecurity in 58 countries and territories in 2022 was 258 million, and this was the highest in the seven-year history of the report, signifying a deteriorating trend in global acute food insecurity. In 2021, 193 million people in 53 countries and territories faced acute hunger, so the figure for 2022 reflected a 34 percent jump within just one year.
