I dont see an APP ad ...Do you have a security suite on your computer? I have Kaspersky and in settings I have the "anti banner" enabled. But I understand that any ad blocker can help.

I'm sorry but all of our stocks are exhausted now, I don't think you'll find any anywhere now. We are being told Aug/Sept, by which time hopefully all pharmacies will have it in stock again, the shortage has been caused by the unavailability of one of the raw ingredients.
I do apologise for any disappointment.

I have spoken to the site managers and we cannot publish individual's contact details in the forums. A general comment such as contacting the company is ok but we cannot get involved with targeting individuals within a company.
Mike - I will send you your original post in full via PM so others can contact you if they wish.

So much for a free and democratic society.
If any body wants the info just say so and I will PM it to you.
Roche who actually manufacture Xenical Orlistat have said to me today that there will be an update at the end of this month.
They insist that it is a Procedual problem which of course covers a multitude of things.

They are still producing Orlistat for the American market and others but not for the UK.
If you try and buy from places like Walmart in the States they just wont ship to UK

I deleted the duplicate posts and I PM'd your post as soon as I posted yesterday about it. If you click the messages link in the green tab you should have it. Let me know by PM or post here if you haven't received it for some reason.

You are right that Xenical is only manufactured by Roche but Xenical is just a brand. Teva does manufacture Orlistat and production is ongoing but they cannot keep up with demand. I have had the Teva version of Orlistat earlier this year - it is exactly the same.
I spoke to a friend who is a GP and he said that Xenical will be flowing back into the UK after Roche has a meeting with the European Medicines Agency. I think that he said that it was a technical compliance issue after they had manufacturing problems in the States. They need authority to recommence supply to the UK.
