It's one of those things, no dietician appointment for 18 weeks, GP presecibing Fortisip fortnightly until appointment. It was all ordered in time, checked with chemist and they ordered it on Thursday so should hace been there yesterday, it wasn't. It's not there today either which means hubs doesn't have any for tomorrow.

What can I use as a short term alternative, complan?

Does your chemist have Ensure for sale over the counter? That's what my hubby was on rather than Fortisip, it was prescribed but I think you can buy it off the shelf in chemists.

I had Ensure too. I got it on prescription but know you can buy it off the shelf. If you're desperate i thnk you can get on Amazon Prime so you could get it tomorrow. Good luck 😀

Hi I have Fresubin , I have allergies against some fresh fruit and ensure triggered my allergies. But just to keep you going there are high protein yogurt and pouches just to give the protein needed, we got ours from ASDA but I’m sure many supermarkets do it. Good luck
