Constella ?

Does anyone know if Constella is ever coming back ? I’ve struggled for over 6 months now without it, with no alternative ☹️ Someone must know something, pharmacists have no clue either.

That sounds a nightmare.

I’ve been able to obtain Constella again from July. I thought the manufacturing issue had been resolved though I could be mistaken.

Are none of your local pharmacies able to source some for you?

Hi there can I ask whereabouts you live ? That’s great you have been getting some. Just getting desperate now ! I will have to trail around all the chemists until I find some. Thanks for the reply 😊

I’m in Lanarkshire.

I know at one point I phoned 30 chemists before I was able to find them. It’s not great, is it?

You could always contact the manufacturers to see if there’s any supply issues? They were very helpful previously. CS_UKI_Medical@Allergan.com

Hi there I called the company who said they have been in stock since April! Called my pharmacy again who again tried to fob me off saying the system was still saying they were out of stock. They have now just called me to say they called the manufacturer and they can get them ! I’m so cross that’s all they had to do in the first place ! So 6 months of pain and discomfort ! They should be ready for me to collect on Wednesday 😊 thanks for your help wouldn’t have pushed them without your advice x
