Patches unavailable
« on: March 09, 2016, 04:44:24 PM »

Just to let people know there seems to be a problem with supplies of Evorelsequi and Femseven sequi.After checking all local chemists they haven't any stock and are saying there's a manufacturing problem.I 've now been told there's no date given for new stock coming in.Another trip to the G.p and she's said the only alternative is tablets which I 'll have to try next month.Seems yet again it's back to the drawing board as just started patches in December.just thought it was important to let you all know you might not be able to get your prescription.

It may be that the Manufacturers aren't being paid by the NHS so can sell them at a higher price in mainland Europe.  It happens occasionally and it is the end of the Financial Year which may might a difference to availability.

Thanks for the heads up!  Ovestin1mg gets short too.

It's really annoying when this happens. All of the pharmacies in my area don't hold them in stock anyway although they are usually available within forty eight to seventy two hours from putting in my prescription. Have you emailed the manufacturers to ask what's happening?
