DH has had hypertension for the last 25 years and for the last few years has been in a combination of drugs that control it just about satisfactorily.
None of them are esoteric or expensive.
This week he tried to get a repeat prescription, only to be told by the pharmacist that two of them are 'out of stock'.
Not just out of stock at the local chemists, but completely out of stock over the whole country.
He had to go to the GP yesterday and get a prescription for something to replace the Valsartan, and ring the pharmacist to see if the co-amilozide is now in stock.
It isn't.
He's now on the phone to the doctor asking what he can have instead.
Is this good enough?
