Subject: Problem getting prescription

My husband has been on methatrexate for about 4 years now, until recently not had any problems getting it at the chemist.
Been to collect it today and been told at the chemist that they cannt get any they are having problems getting it from the manafacturers.
She suggested we ask the doctors for a different strength (its just that easy haha)
Dont know if its just the 17.5 metoject pens theres a problem with, anyone else had a problem? And what did you do?

Can you contact your consultant or rheumy nurse? They might be able to give you an alternative.

hi Rachel , you could try another chemist or go back on tablets until they get the methojet back in stock

talk to your rheumy nurse or GP , you cant mess about with methotrexate to much

Sorry, Rachel, I did realise it was for your husband but wasn't grammatically correct in my reply! I can see your difficulty but I'm sure your doctor can sort something out, at least I hope so.
