shortage can trigger a chain of clinical decisions: who receives limited supply, whether a substitute is therapeutically equivalent, what new error risks the replacement introduces, which patients need closer oversight, and how quickly prescribers and frontline teams can adopt the change.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The survey points to a profession protecting continuity while holding incomplete control over the upstream problem: clinical urgency governs allocation, therapeutic equivalence governs substitution, unfamiliar products create new error risk, and supplier unreliability remains the dominant operational limit. That is why pharmacists look to multi-source procurement, better shortage intelligence and coordinated supply systems.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>What remains unresolved is visibility: the safest substitution plan still becomes harder when teams do not know how long a shortage will last, what stock arrives next, or whether another supplier can reliably fill the gap. Better shortage management therefore needs both disciplined clinical governance inside the health system and stronger supply transparency outside it.<\/p><\/section><\/article>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-9634562-d823411 e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"9634562\" data-e-type=\"widget\"
