Hospitals around the UK are being hit by drug shortages after a "tripling demand" sparked by the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports.

Doctors said they are prescribing medicines alternatives to their "drug of choice" as intensive care wards are running low on eight key drugs.

Medics have warned that some "second-choice drugs" might be triggering dangerous side effects such as minor heart attacks, The Sunday Times reports.

The Government has ordered a "parallel export" ban on 196 essential drugs to stop companies buying up drugs meant for UK patients and selling them abroad.
