EU Problems?

After ordering my repeat medication it had still not been prepared for pick-up after several days. When I contacted our dispensary, I was told they couldn't get my Seebri after several tries. My COPD nurse has had to prescribe an alternative. Is this a revelation of things to come I wonder?

Quite possibly micox. Our daughter in law still doesn’t have all her medication from two weeks ago. It’s a bit of a worry.

Take care xxxx

Yes, I think you are right. Some of my medication is not available at the moment. Also I couldn't have my bloodtests as there is a national shortage of analysing fluid used for certain blood tests. Its worrying to say the least.

No problem in my experience with inhalers, but then I don't use Seebri.

I am having blood test this November, at least its booked, keeping fingers crossed that is not delayed again.

this from June 2019 concerning Seebri:

I still get my prescription of Seebri without any problems. The recall was for a specific manufacturer only due to repacking during the supply process, the repacking broke the continuity of the safety check process so they couldn’t guarantee the safety of the tablets
