Walgreens has ended limits it had imposed recently for online purchases of children’s over-the-counter fever reducing products.
The drugstore chain said improved supplies allowed it to lift its restriction of six products. The company had placed no limit on in-store purchases.
Last month both Walgreens and CVS Health restricted purchases of some over-the-counter children’s medicines citing supply issues. CVS Health put a two-product limit on all children’s pain relief products bought through its pharmacies or online.
A CVS Health spokeswoman said Tuesday that limits on some children's medicines remain in place. She did not offer a time frame for when it might end.
