Changing pill any suggestions

Really fed up been on 3 desogesterel generic crescent health brand since last august and now been told no pharmacy can get them where I am .

Last time i couldnt get depo I spent 6m bleeding with no help - I dont get how they can just take away medicine .

I had no luck with cerelle and others. I know the active ingredient is the same but they never seem to work the same.

The pharmacy want me to use morningside brand but I have never even heard of this anyone used it?

On the wait list for hysteroscopy laproscopy and dye .. for enlargened ovary and calcifications .

Hi Sunflower, I was in a similar situation - I was on Cerelle for years and then the GP started prescribing Desorex instead as it’s cheaper and has the same active ingredient. However, I really didn’t feel right on it and had increased endo symptoms. In the end I bought 3 months supply of Cerelle from Lloyds Pharmacy (£5 per month) and pleaded with the GP who put me back on Cerelle. It’s been an issue again recently with getting a repeat prescription - I had to go back to the pharmacy three times to get Cerelle and not Desorex. Good luck, I hope you can get the medication you need.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for sharing,

Unfortuntely finding the same with symptoms worsened bye bye life again.All pharamacies near me and my family home had nothing.

But I might try online pharmacists again and hope 🤞 . The weird part was they showed my partner the exact drug and then when he went to collect said they had none.

Thanks
