Supply of medication

I am prescribed viridal 40mc, which is the only medication that works for me. A year ago my pharmacist started to get me the starter packs as he explained that the continuation pack was now discontinued. However, the starter packs have now become unobtainable. Tha supplier will not talk to me. I’m reluctant to ask for an alternative as: a) it might not work, b) I’ll lose my prescription for viridal and, c) like the rest of the country I can’t get a GP appointment. This is causing me great distress, as I have enlarged prostate symptoms and I am in the high risk group due to family history. I’d be grateful for any advice. Many thanks.

Hi Joseph,

I found this link to the discontinuation 

https://www.oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk/blog/update-on-the-viridal-continuation-pack#:~:text=Summary%20%2D%20Viridal%20Continuation%20packs%20have,starter%20pack%20for%20you%20instead.

Maybe you'll have to change product and try and get your GP to prescribe Invicorp, which I've found very good.

Best of luck mate.
