My local pharmacy is apparently unable to get it, which is the last thing I wanted to hear!

Any ideas if there's a pharmacy chain that would be more likely to have access? It's the only thing that has allowed me to go back to work, and now I can't get more easily 😩

It’s such a pain to get isn’t it! I’ve been getting it every fortnight for about 14 weeks now and every time I go there’s some sort of delay or faff or I get sent somewhere else.
Id love to be able to help but don’t have any advice, have they said when they’ll get some in, or is it it just a “sorry, no more”?
Hope you manage to get some soon, as I know what a lifeline it is!

Medicines 2 u online. Never let me down.

Thanks - hopefully, the GPs will approve the Medicines 2 U request quickly, because I'm suffering today! No idea how I'm going to cope with my toddler tomorrow 😬

I’ve always been prescribed mine through the early pregnancy unit at the hospital and then collected at the hospital pharmacy. They’ve always had it in stock, the one time my gp prescribed it I couldn’t get it from any pharmacy they had to order it in and it took days x

I was prescribed it by EPU initially and now have to request it from my GP.
So far my local pharmacy has been able to get it but it takes a day or so to arrive. I order when i have one box left so lots of time.

You can ask current listed pharmacy to put it on the spine without going back to GP, and then they can take it off anywhere.

You might find you need to do this as medicines 2 u will now be your automatic pharmacy. Which delivers in 24 hours usually but if you need something else same day (say readily available antibiotics) you ring them and ask them to please put the prescription on the spine.

You can then go to any pharmacy and they can draw it off the spine.

Xonvea is life changing. Was so grateful to get it. Life changing.
