Naproxen Stocks....

[TheBoys]

I cant get my prescription fulfilled as there are no stocks available tonight ...and am told the price from wholesalers is being quadrupled??

Is this a sign of things to come with Brexit and the need to negotiate new medicine prices.

My GP is at a loss...

We haven't got near brexit yet, so shouldn't be influencing things yet. More likely to be a pricing issue.

About 5/6 years ago we had that with Methotrexate....it all blew over, and no one ever said what the reason was.

Hi you should also take something to protect your stomach like Omeprazol (sp?) if this is the case. Sarah x

I got my prescription filled on Wednesday. Perhaps it’s just a local problem.

Thanks all. I ll speak to my gp..in the meantime i ve got some coming from the internet. I 've got my rheumatologist appt on 23rd November so will.hopefully start on some proper treatment.

Good to see you have your appt! (I keep reading your post title as naproxen socks. Maybe its because many have sore feet and analgesic socks would be good.)

I had that!! In the end I did 5 days without it which was awful, I actually appreciated it, I never thought it worked as I was still in pain but turns out it does indeed.
