I have been using Bricanyl as my reliever inhaler for over four years now. For the first time, yesterday it was missing from my repeat prescription and have to wait for a text message when it arrives at the pharmacy. Understandable I suppose, it is made by AstraZeneca. There are a few puffs left in the old one I will have to try and ration them.

Hope the Bricanyl arrives soon 2greys. Xxx
Hopefully it will come soon . My local pharmacy as had a few shortages but when I ask my daughter who works in a different pharmacy with a different supplier she says that they have no shortage. She as told me to ring boots in the past as if they cannot get it it is a genuine shortage not a supplier short fall.
Could yourGP not prescribe you some thing out to ride you over TIL the Bricanyl comes in stock.You don’t want to get Ill
Unfortunately there is only Ventolin, which does not work for me. I could if push comes to shove take an extra puff of my Fostair 200/6, but there is a price to pay of excessive bruising that can appear just from pressure, ie. sleeping, from the steroid content which is double the standard 100/6 dose already. I will just have to try and remain sedimentary and not exert myself, that may help.
It was an electronic prescription to my local pharmacy for different 10 items.
Thank you - quite scary if this problem becomes more prevalent.
Hello got my prescription for Bricanyl yesterday so hopefully you'll get yours soon. Holly
