Hi

I received a phone a call from Boots last Wednesday telling me that they (Boots) were having trouble locating mercury pharma liothyronine, I rang Boots yesterday and was told that they are still having trouble locating mercury pharma liothyronine. Has anyone else been able to source mercury pharma liothyronine from Boots.

Thanks in advance

Frank

Yes, picked up mine from Boots a couple of days ago! So there must be some somewhere in the system.

In the past, people have suggested ringing the manufacturer to check supply is coming out.

Good luck.

Boots prefer to supply their own brand

Suggest you try small independent pharmacies in future

I haven't been able to get Mercury Pharma for a few months now. My private chemist says that they have tried everywhere but no luck .Jo xx

Hi, I was also told my Boots yesterday that the Mercury brand was long term out of stock. I have today called Advanz ( who replaced Mercury ) and was told that there is no problem with stock and they distribute through Alliance Healthcare. So frustrating to have this problem every time I try to get this medication. Will now get on to Boots.

A lady at Boots said the product code she enters into boots system for Mercury Pharma, is automatically changed to the generic brand before it gets to the warehouse, you need to tell boots you know this.
