Informed it was not available till early Sept by my pharmacy GP prescribed Risedronate Sodium until back in stock which hade been problematic burred vision when taking it, indigestion (which I have never had) mouth sores/ulcer after two doses, not going to continue with it, waiting for GP to get back to me

Sorry to hear that Derek, have you spoken to the pharmacy about the problems you have had with the substitute meds? I think you should tell them you can’t take it and ask for another solution. I am guessing AA is in short supply across the country? Waiting till September may be your only option unfortunately.

Hi Derek, sorry to hear you are effected by this shortage. If you can't get your usual tablets, speak to your local pharmacist. We have also pulled together a few other possible options on our website - theros.org.uk/information-a...
