Hi all, is there an issue with the supply of PERT? I am on Creon 25000 capsules and the pharmacy seems to struggle to fulfil my prescription 5 x 100 = 5 bottles. I try and order when I am down to my last two bottles ( just over a weeks supply )to give them time to get some in but even this is not enough time. Is this the same everywhere or just in my area, East Yorkshire?

  • Hi there, yes there has been a supply chain issue. Radio 4 reported about two weeks back. I spoke with my local pharmacist at the time and she rang me last week to say that she could source a lower dose version. I had a couple of weeks supply so I said I would wait. Got the call yesterday that she had some so it seems that here in London, the supply is back.

  • Thanks for your reply. I have gone back to Dr's to order an alternative. I  will  just need to see what comes first
