I've just been to pharmacist to collect my repeat prescription and been told to contact my doctor as they can't get hold of the tablets. I live in east anglia so dont know if its a regional thing.

right, well thanks for that, i will give my pharmacist a ring in the morning, see how things are here, i di have the option of getting the neupro patch, as my doctor lets mr alternate if i need to, so i should be able to manage, hopefully

How about Sifrol, the generic form, I think, of Pramipexole - .Is there a shortage of Sifrol too?

I have just got off the phone to my Chemist to get my repeat prescription for Pramipexole, they have my dosage what i use, i also asked it they had heard of a shortage for Pramipexole and they havent. Nothing has come through to them saying so. Or nothing yet anyway.

Not over here in the USA.

Yet.. Not over here yet.

No problem here in The Netherlands!!

i live in plymouth devon i have had a few probs getting the repeats for my pram pills so i have found out that if i take a copy of my repeat prescription in the chemist one week before i need them as thats how long it takes to get my pills i can get hold of every thing on time with no probs ///// maybe a good idea for others ////
