I've been prescribed the generic form of all my meds, mainly for asthma. But apparently they are not allowed to prescribe for a generic form of HRT patches. I can guarantee whichever one is prescribed I can't source anywhere, so every month I have had to go back to the surgery for another script for whatever I can get and hope that they can keep the patches at the pharmacy until the script is issued. I am going back and forth, using fuel, time and getting stressed each month. The surgery is 3 miles away as is the nearest chemist. All set up for this month. Last month, Boots rang up to say they could fulfil a script from August! That saved a lot of stress!
