anybody else having a problem getting Blackrock hydroxychloroquine again? Told by pharmacy in N Ireland this morning that it’s unavailable? Why is this constant recurring issue?🤷‍♀️

Hi Marmorange can't help as in England but I have the same issue sometimes with ZENTIVA brand. Apparently he just becomes out of stock at the distribution center. I normally ring manufacturers first and if they say no problem their end I ring the distribution center that my pharmacy uses. They have always been very helpful. If no issues I then go back to Pharmacy and let them know. ZENTIVA is the only brand I can take due to fillers and dyes, you maybe the same. Good luck and make that call. Nx

The only thing that I know is that 300mg Blackrock in my area is not available - entirely due to cost. I was placed on an odd routine which was only possible with the 300mg tablets. I can't say about the 200mg. It would be worth asking your GP practice as they were the ones who could not prescribe it as it was not permitted on the system. Hope that helps a little.

interesting thanks for that-surgery had been fine up to now but maybe it is a cost issue. Thing is Blackrock only ones who make a 300

I have Blackrock or Zentiva marked on my prescription but all I've had for ages is ICPA, which seems to be fine with me as long as you swallow quick, the outer stuff is a bit sour, so I'm not complaining, especially as I'm down to only three tablets a week. I'm having a few problems with a digestive issue but Lupus is lying low.

It seems to be all about cost. It’s the digestive issues with the other brands that seem to cause me problems on top of the issues already there
