No idea but I was switched to other brands and there have been others posting the same story.Makes no difference to me but does for some so keep a note of any changes.

Hi,

I get mine from Superdrug and I'm not aware of the problem although, they do keep trying to give me another brand. PM me if you need any help getting it.

TT

Ring round the pharmacies in your area.

Or use an internet pharmacy:

nhs.uk/Service-Search/pharm...

We keep seeing issues like this and all too often they end up being temporary - affecting one distributor, or one pharmacy chain (it is not always easy to be sure which pharmacies are part of the same group - e.g. Sainsbury have just sold theirs off to another chain).

If it is a more widespread issue, we would expect to see many more posts/responses. But we never know when a few odd posts/responses will turn into a torrent.
