Problems with Zentiva brand

[Liberton]

Hi Guys,

I recently called at my local Boots Pharmacy to collect my repeat 2-monthly prescription. I was informed that they did not have any Hydroxychloroquine Sulphate by Zentiva.

Apparently Zentiva are having production problems at the moment with this particular drug. I am interested to know whether anyone else is having problems obtaining their prescriptions.

I unfortunately cannot tolerate Quinoric so I hope the problem is sorted quickly.

Hello. I got my repeat Zentiva hydroxy prescription last week from my local pharmacy. They are part of the Cohens Chemist chain so might be worth seeing if there's one near you. Good luck.

P.S. Not sure from your post where you are but I use the pharmacy in the surgery in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian.

Not at all relevant but I went to school in Bonnyrigg seventy years ago. !

Small world! I moved to Dalkeith in 1971 and have been in the area ever since. Where are you now?

Try Blackrock Pharmacy brand. It's the only one I can take without get a stomach ache.

I used to be with boots but changed because of this problem.

I use an independent pharmacy now and they order it in for me. I find boots were "too big" to do this for me.

Might be worth changing? Before changing to them I quizzed the independent pharmacist about this problem I was having because I can't tolerate quinoric, explaining that it was the condition of me using them.

When you consider how much medication a month I order, and my husband too, 7 items for me and 5 or 6 for my husband, I decided i was good business for them!

Might be worth doing the same?
