Update & advice on availability of Zentiva hydroxychloroquine

[Debbie_kinsey]

Hi all

We have posted an update and some advice on the availability of the Zentiva version of hydroxychloroquine here: lupusuk.org.uk/update-on-av...

Supply issues are different in different areas and between different pharmacies, so hopefully the article will help if you're having any difficulty obtaining Zentiva.

(Our information on the Blackrock version is still accurate, and the 300mg in stock and the 200mg due to come back into stock towards the end of May 2023: lupusuk.org.uk/availability....

As far as we're aware there are no supply issues with the Bristol / Quinoric version.

Please get in touch if I can be of any help or answer any questions.

Take care

Debbie

You mention reserved stock for Lupus, just wondering about UCTD. Thanks

Yes, I would like this questioned answered too. I have been to two different pharmacies locally and both are unable to order ANY brand of 200mg Hydroxychloroquine. I can get the 300 mg but sadly, history tells me I will flare at this dose.

Thanks. A code will be good, or the chemist contacting zentiva direct is a help. It's just difficult when chemists refuse to even try and order for you as so many do now it seems.

Thanks so much for posting this link Debbie. I'm struggling with supply of Zentiva at the moment and am now down to my last box. It's such a pain trying to source this on occasions. I've just emailed this link to my pharmacist in the hope that he can source a supply.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the update Debbie it’s useful to know that prescribing issues are still a problem for many. My next prescription is due in about 10-14 days so I’ll be prepared for the inevitable discussion with the pharmacist.

My pharmacist had a problem locating Zentiva but got a call today to say that she had managed to track some down. Don't know from where though.
