UK shortage of MS pain drug Nabilone leaves patient in agony

A Northern Ireland woman with multiple sclerosis says she is in 'horrific pain' after a UK-wide shortage cut off her supply of Nabilone, which she has used for 17 years. The health department said the drug is out of stock with wholesalers until December. Drugs in short supply in the UK hit 157 this week, up from 107 in January.
