I put a prescription for lactose-free thyroxine into my pharmacist almost 4 weeks ago and it has still not arrived. Is it normally this long?

I cannot answer but you must be quite frustrated waiting for four weeks. I hope it arrives soon.
I ordered some lactose free levothyroxine and it arrived within a week.
What's the reason given for the delay?

It should be possible for the pharmacy to get one of the German makes within a few days.
A specially compounded form might take longer - difficult to know.
Four weeks suggests that someone isn't trying.
Ask for your prescription back and take it elsewhere.
