Hey,

Just to let anyone who is taking Provera know, there is a manufacturing fault/issue with the 100mg tablets, and there is no date as to when they will be making them again.

So if you're going to need some anytime soon, then maybe get in touch with your pharmacy soon to let them know, so they can try and source what you need.

I've just had a call from my pharmacy who have tried to get in what I need and have failed. So I've sent them off to do whatever they need to - even if that means giving me 10 tabs of 10mg for every 100mg I need - before this time next week as that's when I head home for Christmas. So by next week, I need enough tablets to see me through to the new year.

Stress! And here I thought I was being nice and organised..... well, at least I didn't leave it to next week I guess!

  • I’m on 400mg tablets. Does it effect these too? 

  • Hi All,

    Not sure if this helps, but about 4 months ago, my husband's usual pharmacy (Morrisons) told him they couldn't get his eye drops. The hospital said there was no excuse. We tried a little local pharmacist, who has sourced them ever since!!!! XXXXXX

  • Didn't know they did 400's! Lol. Are you on 400 a day, or twice a day?

    But not that I'm aware. The 10's and 200's are fine, it's just the 100's that have a manufacturing fault with them.

    And no Nanny, they've specifically said this is a manufacturing fault and the company aren't actually making them at the moment - rather than that they just can't get them.

    I'm calling them on Friday, prob around lunch, to chase them up. Lol. No excuse as to why they can't get me the pills I need, even if it means giving me 1080 10s instead of the 480 10s. Lol

  • I’m on 400mg just once a day x 

  • Ive got this problem now. Manufacture can’t get any until end of March and I’ve only got a few days left. I’ve driven round 10 pharmacies today and still no luck Frowning2️ not even diff strengths. 

  • Manufacturer can't make any of any strength at all before the end of March?

  • Only 5mg and 10mg. I’m on 600mg. No 100 200 or 400. 

  • Can any of the big chain pharmacies check stock in other parts of Britain for you? I hope you can get some

  • Guess you'll need to do what I've been doing then and take hundreds of 10's each day!

    I'm on 360 a day, and since I posted this thread I've been taking that in 10's.

    The most annoying thing? The 10's come with a sticky label on the back of every blister, making it an absolute ballache to pop them out!

  • Another head's up folks. 

    They now have a manufacturing fault with the 10's.

    If you're going to be due a refill on your prescription, get in there sooner rather than later so you can get what you need. 

    This one is particularly problematic as they only make 10's and then 100's. So anyone on a dose that has 'bits', need these 10s.

    Good luck and hopefully this is a short problem. My pharmacy have managed to find 30 10s for my refill. I need over 450 for a month. Hoping they can source more from their other branches or I'm going to have issues!
