[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1790141, member: 352098"] I have recently had one of my insulins removed from my list of repeatable items, plus my tablets for BP. I always order my prescriptions online, so I can see the list in full, plus date of last prescription for each item. I immediately rang the surgery and explained the problem. The receptionist was very confused and finally got me a telephone appointment to speak to the doctor the following day. I ws told that my usual 1 mg BP tablets had been removed because there had been a manufacturing problem and the pharmacist had requested a prescription for 2 mg as a substitute. This was not news to me. I had asked the pharmcy to cut them in two, to allow me a 1 mg dose. The doctor said she decided to remove the tablets from my repeatable list in case I ordered the 1mg tablets, once they were again available, and took them in addition to the half tablets I had been using. as a substitute. I decided that was perhaps understandable, but it could have left me without any BP tablets if I had not already developed the habit of ordering a week in advance, to allow time for error corrections. There was no explanation of why my insulin had been removed and it was immediately reinstated. [/QUOTE]
