[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 875332, member: 181094"] Having wasted most of an evening I couldn't spare ringing round and visiting pharmacies that either weren't open at the published times, or that were open and don't answer the phone, I've struck out this evening. The one pharmacist I did see said they don't stock all of the variants and didn't have my size, but she would have been happy to sell them to me if they had and she'd happily have ordered them for me for Monday. So at least I now know that I should be able to secure some without prescription. She said the best bet might be to ring ahead to a pharmacy near where I'm going and asking them to order them in for collection early next week - I can get together a few days supply from the previous batch. So I'll try local pharmacies in the morning and if not successful, I'm familiar with the chemists where we'll be, so can either call or visit to order some in. Is it possible to reject/return NHS prescription supplies that are sub-standard? I'm worried that I'll just get the same unsuitable brand on prescription again in future. [/QUOTE]
