ERFA without prescription

I have been very fortunate in having an endo who prescribes Erfa, which I can get from the hospital pharmacy. However, instead of my usual 3 months supply the pharmacy will only release it in one monthly instalments, involving several phone calls each month to get it 'released' and a longish journey each time. I have been unable to get a definitive answer as to why this has changed but today was told it is due to cost implications and it may not always be available. I am understandably, I think, concerned that this is a step in the wrong direction so have decided to investigate buying online, initially just to ensure I have reserves and also in case of sudden withdrawal of prescription. Would appreciate any information as to where to source it. Many thanks.

Valt,

It may be due to shortages of Erfa reported in Canada and Europe.
