Femseven Conti problem with chemist
« on: July 04, 2014, 07:54:46 AM »

Hi there, just started my first pack of Femseven Conti after a week of trying to get them! All my local chemists and further afield have said there is a major problem with supplies and none in the warehouses which they deal with. I have managed to get them from a chemist on the internet eventually which I was a bit wary of but actually turned out to be pretty straightforward. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem recently?

Hi Sparklet, yes, I had problems getting my patches earlier this summer, Boots in particular were no help but my local Lloyds chemist managed to get me a twelve pack. The pharmacist said she had never been asked for them before and so could only get them in on special order.
Since then I've left off  for three months and only just gone back onto them last week so I'm hoping there's still not a problem.

Hi  rantywoman, I managed to get my last pack 3 months ago with quite a lot of effort. No one had it in stock so eventually used an online chemist.Same thing happened last weekend with new prescription and one patch to go! Boots had one box left so I had that but the company Teva who are the suppliers say there is a manufacturing problem and they had no idea when the next batch was expected. Keeping my fingers crossed that my GP will give me next prescription early so I can be well prepared. Will let you know if I hear back from Teva.

Oh hell, I hope you get them quickly, the last thing we want when we're trying to sort ourselves out is more stress added by all this.

I can't understand why so many chemists have never heard of FemSeven Conti, I've lost count of the number of times I get a blank look and then asked "what is it?"  When I look online a lot of women are taking it.
