Hell, the US shortage is so bad my usual pharmacy told me they wouldn't be honoring my prescription, everyone I called refused to answer if they could and would usually just hang up on me, and my Dr refused to help find someone
Kinda don't blame the UK if it's anything like that there
One of my kids just started on 2 different medications in Canada and we had no problem. Wouldn't have even thought there were shortages elsewhere
I find this strange as well. While the producer of my meds has changed several times, I’ve never had to wait or go without at any point in time.
I had a 2 week period without a job and swapped insurance because of the new job offering it through a different service
Same Dr, same pharmacy, same pharmacist, yet the whole thing was treated like I was new at the pharmacy because of the insurance change
I personally think they were looking for any reason to drop people because they simply didn't have enough to supply all of us rather than just admit that
Dunno why so many other pharmacies were outright rude to me when I called but that's what a friend also experienced so my guess is stress over the situation or shitty callers who get angry
