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
