I had problems last year, eventually they could not get one of my medications.My GP owed me the month script until the company returned the original on.

Now the Practice or Tesco cannot get the drug now and I have to go to a Private Chemist who can get the medication I need

The main problem I was taking the original drug that was more expensive than the prescribed Generic so in the future I may need to return to the original drug. They are using this medication for Covid so we will see what will happen

Personally I would suggest Foggy, you get your medications from around your neighbourhood it is easier and less of a problem. Many chemists, small ones will deliver ?.

The main problem now is the medications we may need to take are bad too get

It would be nice if we could go back to two months supply and the order date can be very close the the running out day, if things go wrong we cannot get replacements EIGHT WEEKS SUPPLY ordered at six weeks, would be a good length of time before the script is needed. Everything is delivered just in time.

I have now had to change my Chemist, because the two originals use the same supplier. The smaller chemist uses a different supplier

Generally echo.co.uk are good but this time had to use the help section to message them where is my medicine and they finally said they have to contact GP which was good response. Royal Mail usually deliver and as you know they are good, too. I would recommend echo in the end

In my case several of my drugs are pain medications and they need handling in a difficult way, they need two signatures. I also need a Cox 2 inhibitor drug for my PsA as I cannot use standard nsid drugs.

They were a problem for me and I cannot take the risk of not having my Opiate drugs. They are to distant from my GP and Specialists. It took just over two years Foggy to get the correct medications worked out.

They seem to be ok with standard medications and I feel the need of a chemist who can work with the Doctor accordingly
