Every month, when she gets her prescription she collects it in person and has to drive round the County trying to find a chemist with any stock – it can take several days to find one and then she has to drop everything, rush straight there hoping it hasn’t been sold before she gets there.
Every frigging month…
Demand seems to far exceed current supply.
From a Pharmacy side of things, stock of medication is a lot better. Recent shortages in progesterone capsules (utrogestan) and medroxyprogesterone tablets seem to be fine although a savvy Dr will prescribe HRT patches generically, not by bl**dy brand…
Lots of patients have said using HRT (male and female) has made a huge difference to their lives, so definitely an option to consider. Maybe have a delicate word with their close friend or female family member?
