Why can't the pharmacist get it for you, Barbara? They should have daily deliveries and be able to obtain it within a day or two. I'm on several drugs which my pharmacy doesn't regularly stock but they just order them in, no problem. Where is Langford?

Hi Barbara, your chemist should be able to order the drugs, however if not they should be able to tell you where you can get the prescription. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is to speak to your doctors surgery about it.

Hi Barbara, further to an earlier reply I found this phone number called a Prescription services helpline 0300 330 1349 may be able to answer your question, good luck.

I am on the same and the problem is with the supplier not the chemist the first one I had took them a week to get the second time took two weeks. What I did in the end was put in for a repeat as soon as I picked it up. So I always have two. As soon as one runs out I put in for the next.

Dear barbarastanners58,

I am wondering why your pharmacy can not get your medication? It is quite odd. The pharmacy does not have to stock the Spiolto Respimat, but they CAN order it for you. My CVS Pharmacy is the best. I am on a ton of medications. If one of my doctors prescribes a medication that is not normally in stock, they order it. It usually comes in fast - 1 or 2 days.

Where is Langford? Could you try another pharmacy for your new medication?

Good luck and God bless. Take care and have a wonderful day.

My Regards,

Kathie
