Colomycin Shortage

Hi

Is anybody else having trouble obtaining their Colomycin? I have the 1 million and the chemist has told me there is a manufacturing problem.

Luckily I have a telephone appointment tomorrow with my consultant and I am hoping they will be able to help. The Hospital pharmacy has the 2 million, so I might have to go with that.

It's a bit worrying when I seem to be on an even keel and I don't want to change anything.

What an awful situation to be in. Hope your consultant can help. Let us know how you get on.

HiMy consultant was very good and will be sending a script to Boots within the Hospital. It had to be a Hospital script, not just one from the doctors. They have the 2 million, so will just take half in the morning and half in the afternoon. It means an 18 mile trip there but as long as I get the Colomycin we don't care.

I will ring tomorrow afternoon and make sure it is there and then we can go and collect Thursday.

I only hope they sort the supply issue with the 1 million out, but the Consultant has said I can always ring and she can get another script issued.

I have always thought what if there comes a time when you can't get your medication, but maybe its best not to go there.

Take care.

My consultant is issuing a script to the Hospital pharmacy for the 2 million. Fingers crossed they will sort out the issue with the 1 million.
