Sebelius says leukemia-drug shortage will be resolved within two weeks
Federal health officials said there will be enough supply of a children’s leukemia drug released in the next couple of weeks to alleviate a shortage.
The drug, methotrexate, is used to treat children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer.
Hospitals across the country are running low on the drug and some reported yesterday that they don’t have any methotrexate, according to the American Society of Hematology.
