  1. Been prescribed antibiotics only to find not only are they out of stock but the chemist can't order them. GP's answer: go round all the chemists till you find some. Unfortunately my son can only lift my wheelchair in & out of the car so many times a day. Its heavy. He'd already reached his limit for today.

  2. I've been off Ozempic probably for at least 2 months and I have been told it'll be out of stock till the new year at least. That's over 5 months away.

    Apparently I am going to have to move to tablets that are half my dose and take two at a time due to Atorvastatin 20mg shortage. This can only be done by seeing a doctor first and getting a new prescription.
