Still a shortage of birth control pills

There has been a shortage of the most commonly used contraceptive pill for a few months now.

It concerns the pill with the active substances ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. Normally you get the pill for six months. Now you can be happy if your pharmacy still has boxes in stock and you receive one strip. The price has also increased.

Some people offered pill strips on Marktplaats, but that has now been banned. It is not yet clear when the problems will be solved.
