Hello

My chemist is having trouble filling my Contour strip prescription, saying they're only getting them in in small amounts. Is anyone else having these problems with the strips?
 
I’ve seen the same thing on FB today. I had the same from my pharmacy about 8 week ago.

The last couple of scripts have been fine though. Seems to be a fairly localised shortage in different areas. Hopefully you have a few spares to tide you over. 😱

If the pharmacy is saying there is a problem your best bet is to ring the manufactures on Monday morning and make some enquiries.
I picked up 4 boxes without a problem the other day.
 
I've got a box here so I'm alright for a while. They seem sure they'll be in by Monday, so I hope so. It's nice that I'm not the only one, but I hope it gets sorted soon for the people who really need it.
 
Superdrug couldn't fulfil my contour strips prescription! They filled the other items then gave me script back. So annoying as I like to get everything together.
