Been prescribed antibiotics only to find not only are they out of stock but the chemist can't order them. GP's answer: go round all the chemists till you find some.

NHS patients to be prescribed Wegovy weight-loss jab for first time | The Independent

I've been off Ozempic probably for at least 2 months and I have been told it'll be out of stock till the new year at least. That's over 5 months away.
Apparently I am going to have to move to tablets that are half my dose and take two at a time due to Atorvastatin 20mg shortage. This can only be done by seeing a doctor first and getting a new prescription.
Switzerland is a pharmaceutical giant, and is still suffering from an acute shortage of some medicines.
Those wanting to solve the problem are encountering many obstacles.
