I was wondering if anyone else had been finding it hard to get their Levothyroxine prescriptions recently. Last month I was told that I would be issued my Levothyroxine around this date this month. I just collected my prescription and I have no Levothyroxine.
I've gone without it for a few weeks now and was hoping it would be with the prescriptions I collected today. I would usually buy it myself in this situation but that also isn't a viable option.
I think this might just be an issue with my pharmacy more than anything else, but I started thinking that there may be a shortage of Levothyroxine and wondered if anyone had heard or read anything that confirms that.
If you requested your repeat Levo you should ask the Pharmacist why it hasn't been dispensed. They may be having problems getting a particular brand but you should be offered a different one, you shouldn't be going without any for weeks, that won't help you at all !
