That's awful Wrensong and my worst nightmare I might add. I've just managed to get hold of some evorel 50 after trying 3 different pharmacies. The pharmacist was very aware of the issues but had no solutions. I only got 3 months supply and am concerned about next time, my life is too busy to do without x

Only 1 tiny pharmacy in the rural area where we live.  OH will take script to next nearest town - 15 miles away - when he goes in to work tomorrow.  Only 3 pharmacies there & always very busy, so don't hold out much hope.

I put in a prescription for Evorel conti last week and my pharmacist said he can't get hold of any. I phoned the manufacturers this morning Janssen and they said if the pharmacist gets in touch with them and has my prescription they will supply them. They said the reason for the shortage is high demand

Hi, I'm in Surrey and struggling to get Evorel Conti also. Where are you located (region?).
Thanks!

I'm in Scotland. Picked up my HRT prescription today (they've been ordering it in) & I asked about the shortage they said yes def an issue with HRT's & oral contraceptives. Her advice to me was to ask GP to prescribe x2 packs instead of one for the forseeable!!

Last week I discovered https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/
I emailed them and they do have Evorel Conti. I was told that they will supply it by post if you send in your NHS  prescription to them. If you have to pay for prescriptions usually, they tell you how to pay.
I haven't tested it yet.
