My Chemist is having difficulty in getting Latanoprost drops and now I am getting worried! Is anybody else having difficulty getting this and is there a shortage?

yes I am having difficulty getting these drops, I intend to contact the eye clinic for help. I understand from another post on here that there is a general shortage
That’s awful! I will give it a couple of weeks to see if they become available and if not I will then phone the Eye Department to see what they have to say. Thank you for your reply.
Hi, I asked my GP to switch me from Latanaprost to Xalatan as these do not need to be kept in a fridge as, when travelling, I don't always have access to a fridge. My pharmacist and GP were both happy with the switch. Hope this helps,
Hi Karjade I was told by Boots this week that they couldn’t get my drops until May. I contacted other pharmacies to see who could get them, when I found one I contacted my surgery who then reissued the prescription so I managed to get them by doing this. Hope you manage to get yours x
thank you for that. I have tried to get hold of Boots all day by phone and they never pick up. I will have to go up there next week. In the meantime I will phone some other chemists to see if they have got them. Thank you for your reply.
