Title: Utrgestan supply
Post by: Dandelion on February 03, 2023, 08:00:49 PM

Hello

This link suggests an interruption in supply, https://www.besinshealthcare.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/BHUK_2023_025-Product-Supply-Update-No.7-Jan-23-v1.pdf

Also, I read on mumsnet that some ladies have not been able to get hold of it.

I am dependent on prescription valium, currently prescribed by my doctor, which acts on BZD gaba receptors in the brain.
While progesterone is not addictive, with ladies like me, who are dependent on benzodiazepines, I have met many ladies, online, who stopped their progesterone, and ran into major problems, akin to benzodiazepine severe withdrawal, as our brains become dependent on progesterone, and many benzodiazepine dependent ladies were not aware of this, when they stopped their progesterone.

While I have put a request in, and my GP surgery have put a request to my chemist, and am waiting for my pharmacy to let me know when my prescription is due, I cannot afford to run out, as I could go into seizures etc, akin to benzodiazepine withdrawal and wonder if any ladies have any spare utrogestan packs they could send me please. I will be much appreciative.
Many thanks

Hi I haven’t had a problem getting Utrogestan. You might have to ring a few pharmacies to find some.

Hello, I tried ringing 3 pharmacies but no joy. A fourth pharmacy was engaged.
I know this is not an excuse, but I am autistic and get stressed/triggered ringing more.
