Pharmacist Stolle: Emergency production in Neukölln - Medicines homemade!

In the Pfauen pharmacy in Neukölln, pharmacist Joachim Stolle took emergency measures to ensure the supply of its customers with medicinal products. In the face of the ongoing lack of medication, Stolle activated his laboratory to produce common medication such as suppositories and fever juices. "It was just fine," he says over the past year, and emphasizes that other pharmacies were forced to switch to emergency production, since many manufacturers could no longer deliver important products such as paracetamol.

With a fully packed cabinet full of chemicals, Stolle mixes the necessary ingredients according to recipes to maintain the supply. This disturbing development raises questions about the stability of the pharmaceutical supply in Berlin, where pharmacists and patients have to adapt to alternative solutions.
