Is anyone else having trouble sourcing this brand? I managed to get a pack, but I’ve been told the supplier doesn’t have them.
I assume you meant Accord brand? There have been hiccups with it from time to time. Once I found the chemist had problems I asked GP to request that brand on my repeats which he was happy to, always allowed a week for the pharmacy to get stock and it usually worked ok. Often useful to try and build a stock in hand, too.

Hi, I haven’t been able to get Accord recently, but my alternative is Sun Pharma and I don't have any different side effects from that. Best wishes
I haven’t been able to source Accord either, even though it’s on my prescription. I accepted Sun last time as l can tolerate them. Unfortunately the pharmacy is now unable to supply those either, and offer no hope in the near future. Just waiting to see what turns up.I relied on an independent pharmacy - the only one around, but they have been taken over by a big name, and just get what they are given when they order.
I’ve tried Sun and they were ok, pot luck what the suppliers send. I wasn’t able to get Sun either. Will start phoning around again.
I have always found it difficult to get the Accord brand especially from the larger pharmacy chains. I was told by an independent pharmacy that they make a loss on supplying Accord as it's more expensive than other brands.
However , the small independent pharmacy was able to get mine a couple of weeks ago in packs of 14 tablets rather than 28. I now make a point of buying additional items off the shelf to help offset their loss.
A while back I visited 18 pharmacies before I managed to get the Accord brand.
It's exhausting and stressful
