No supplies of Terrosa?

Just started on Terrosa daily injections (day 7 of 2year course) and have just received text from Lloyds Clinical, telling me that the manufacturers have run out of supplies and so they will not be able to make my next meds delivery. Lloyds are coordinating with clinic on what options might be.

Anyone else had this? And what other options are most likely?

Hi I've only just joined here, and I have been given Terrosa to start the 2 year treatment. the nurse is coming next week to show me how to start the injections. I've been sent a months supply but am concerned now if they are/have run out? I'm in Cardiff, where are you in the UK?

North east Scotland. UK suppliers are somewhere down south I think so I imagine it may be a nationwide shortage? I’m waiting to hear from support nurse and/or clinic, will let you know if I get an update from them. Don’t panic!

Ask whoever prescribed this aa there may be another generic version. This is effectively a generic version of teriparatide. Maybe also talk to Royal osteoporosis society. Lloyds Clinical have new owners since I used them but frankly they were not great.

Personally I'd get a second opinion from another pharmacy. I live in Surrey and Lloyds have disappeared from the area, totally useless.

I got the same message yesterday in Northern Ireland. Not good news. Will be speaking to my medical practice as directed on the message. Hoping that an alternative can be secured as I am just 6 months into the treatment regime.

Lloyds Clinical have actually been really good so far, very organised and pleasant staff. I think that the problem is with manufacturers, not Lloyds. Don’t know if it’s just within UK or more widespread.

My support nurse texted me first thing this morning, telling me continue with current supplies, and she’ll ‘phone later today. Hopefully, there will be some sort of back-up plan by then! 🤞
