    Ooooo plum84 how lovely for you. I tried Numark but sadly not around W-s-M or reasonable distance. What area are you in ? :o)

    I am travelling from HD1 4NW to HX5 0DQ (Numark Pharmacy in Stainland). Few months ago I rang almost all pharmacies In Huddersfield and there was not a sign of Orlistat. I gave up looking in busy places. I am going straight to this one smile

    Hi just joined this site,

    does anyone know of any places in Stevenage, that have them? I was in Asda yesterday, and they have said they wont be getting any of the pills in indefinite? Boots have said possible September, so still none the wiser.

    Contacted my local councillor who was very interested in this. He conacted the MSP who is charge of Scottish NHS. She raised the question in the scottish parliment and was told by roche that there is a low stock of ingredients and now there is low stock in America too!

    She has assurances from roche that there will be stock by the end of the month... but where have we heard that!

    She will keep me informed... and I will post it.

    Hiya everyone, I'm Vanessa near Manchester, my doctor prescribed me them yesterday and no pharmacy has any in stock.

    I'm gutted because I can't lose weight and I've tried and tried. I have polycystic ovary syndrome which makes it even harder. I'm so frustrated myself because now my weight it affecting my liver and my periods.

    Sorry to rant on! Xx

    still no stock in my area !! phoned 8 chemists this morn and 3 said the tabs have been discontinued and wont get hold of them again !!

    i just wish someone would tell the truth so we know where we stand with it all

    ive got an appointment to see the weight loss nurse tonight but cant see the point in getting another prescription just to have it sat at home cos none of the chemists in my area are taking anymore prescriptions cos they have such a back log of them !!

    the news just gets better by the day - NOT !!

    has anyone tried the slim bomb ??

    Ive not heard of the slim bomb Amanda is it similar to Orlistat?

    I phoned a chemist in Essex this morning that I have spoken to before and they said although they never know when they will get stocks in..( they order it twice a day) they have been getting small amounts through ..I asked if I could post my prescription to them with a cheque and stamped self addressed packet envelope and they are happy for me to do that.. they said that they have cleared some of their back log and will send it to me ASAP.

    I went to Boots and got my prescription back from them and sent it off to this other pharmacy ..so keeping everything crossed ..will let you know if/when it arrives
