Is there a shortage of ibuprofen?

For the past few months I have found it hard to find generic ibuprofen. My usual shops (Lidl, poundstretcher, wilko etc) always seem out of stock.

Is it just me or is there a shortage?

I know I should look in boots but haven't been recently, not so handy for me to get to. Local chemist has it but expensive.

Yes, there is a worldwide shortage. Nothing to do with Brexit.
You can still track them down, but may have to try a couple of shops.

We seem to have plenty in our local Sains.
