The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has dismissed a social media claim alleging that two medications were out of stock at the institution, confirming that both drugs are available in adequate supply.
In a statement on Wednesday, the hospital said it was “aware of a social media claim stating that two specific medications are unavailable at our institution,” but emphasized that the information is false.
GPHC clarified that both Chlor-o-phan Expectorant and Phenobarbital Syrup—the medications mentioned online—are fully stocked at its pharmacy and in central storage.
According to the release, the hospital currently has:
- 216 bottles of Chlor-o-phan Expectorant at the pharmacy, with an additional 14,972 bottles in warehouse storage.
- 4 bottles of Phenobarbital Syrup at the pharmacy, along with 150 bottles in central storage.
To further support its statement, the institution released photographs showing the stocked medications.
GPHC urged members of the public to rely on its official communication channels for accurate updates on drug availability.
“We encourage the public to contact our Pharmacy Department or Help Desk/Orange Office for accurate, up-to-date information on any medication,” the statement noted.
The hospital thanked citizens for their continued confidence, reaffirming its commitment to transparency and dependable service delivery.
