According to Health Canada, pharmacies in the country are expected to run out of EpiPens.
In a statement from Health Canada, they say EpiPen injectors, which are relied on by people with life-threatening anaphylactic allergies, are in "very limited supply" and Canadian pharmacies will run out of adult doses in the coming days or weeks.
They also said that while some pharmacies might have some inventory on hand now, it will likely be gone soon.
Pfizer Canada, which is a pharmaceutical company, has been reporting shortages for months due to manufacturing delays, and told Health Canada it will not have any new stock of the 0.3 mg adult dose of epinephrine until the end of August.
Health Canada says anyone who has an anaphylactic reaction, but only has an expired EpiPen, should use the expired product and call 911 immediately.
