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. The company anticipates running out of the children’s dose of the
syphilis drug Bicillin L-A by the end of June, according to a letter
Pfizer posted Tuesday on the Food and Drug Administration’s website. The
company says it’s prioritizing production of larger doses of Bicillin
L-A, which is recommended for pregnant people with syphilis because it
is the only drug that can pass through the placenta and also treat the
fetus.Pfizer expects to run out of antibiotic supply soon
