Methotrexate injections

[Carol41]

When my carer went to the dispensery to pick up my drugs yesterday he was told that they had no Methotrexate injections. I'm worried, is there a shortage because of the current situation and if so 'help'

No idea... did they say they’d order it and have it in 24 hours? That’s what my pharmacy told me two weeks ago. I use Metoject Pen 7.5mg to anchor biologic infusions.

The injections come in many doses. Maybe a call to your pharmacy would help.

Got mine on Thursday. I have not been warned that there will be a problem. I always have to place prescription in a few days before I need to collect. I should imagine its just a distribution problem if one exists, rather than a shortage. Hope this gives some reassurance.

I hope not as I need some again soon 🙁

So sorry to hear this, as others have said check with the pharmacy to see if it was that they didn't have any in and needed to order, or if perhaps there had been a distribution problem. Hope you get it sorted out, sending my best wishes.

Ordered my Metoject last week, as at Friday not in, but I thought it might be due to the fact my white blood count has dropped and GP has put me in the 'shielding' group and to stop injecting for 2 weeks.
