Hi Amanda,

I have moved your post to the Orlistat discussion area and there is a thread about this subject here patient.info/forums/discuss/no-stock-of-orlistat--35697.

Hope this helps.

Hi Emis when I click on that link (no stock of orlistat) it says there is an error.. I have been adding to it but now I cant find it??

Hi fliss,

This is in hand. For some reason that discussion has "disappeared" over the weekend. We will reinstate it and look in to what happened.

Thank you Alan

Fliss

Have you been able to find out what has happened to this thread yet Alan?

Hi Fliss,

It is back and I've posted on it, you may have received an email when I posted. We are still trying to find out what happened. I am in the middle of tidying up the topics etc to cut down on subject numbers in the forums but this should not have affected that discussion.

Hooray. I have managed to get my Orlistat. The script would only have lasted one more day, which meant having to go back to my GP. I got 2 months supply on Saturday, the first time since January/February. Since starting them properly on Sunday I wasn't able to leave the house on Monday due to an upset stomach. Funnily enough it didn't affect me with my first lot. Today my stomach is still a bit iffy but have been able to go out. Hopefully it'll ease off quickly. I got the tablets at Morrisons pharmacy at Killingworth, near Newcastle on Tyne. Good luck to everybody. Hope you all manage to get some.
