[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 104633"] Hi trevm, There are several prescription drugs that are in short supply in the UK at the moment. It would appear that pricing discrepancies and the change in the exchange rate have created a financial incentive for some wholesalers and pharmacies to order extra and sell overseas for profit. It is called parallel exporting, (google it), It is legal, ethical and moral may not be best way to describe it. but hence the shortages. You need to ring the surgery reception and explain that it is not available in your area and ask them to speak to your GP and see what he suggests as you have the weekend ahead and need some or a replacement drug urgently. They must know about this problem within the area. Hope this helps, Catherine. [/QUOTE]
