    There's a whole thread here about it. Maybe someone would be able to tell you which chemist they get theirs from. :)

    hi op best thing you can do is get out the golden pages and ring every pharmacy,
    we havnt been able to get any in work for 2 weeks now and no date for it coming back. weve been told its a supply chain error, which could mean anything from they underestimated the demand for it and didnt make enough to the company has had to destroy a batch and start all over again.

    Your best bet is probably a small quiet pharmacy where they may not have a regular patient on it but they happen to have a box sitting on the shelf somewhere. I'm on it myself and looks like I'm going to have to go back to noriday which isn't nearly as good

    Thanks for your replies, funny I sourced one box in Donegal! I was on my way home for xmas yday!

    The story I'm getting from the Pharmacists is that the company that makes the drug is amalgamating (sp?) with another company and they are having licencing issues. There has been no date set for it's return to the shelves at all, so it could potentially be late Jan or early Feb before its back.

    Also, I literally googled all pharmacies in Dublin CC and surrounding areas and nobody has it. I also did the larger pharmacy chains and they phoned around for me....same story!

    Can't believe this :( I got a 6 month prescription for this few months ago but only bought 4 boxes, had to go back to Ovranette on Thursday, I'm dreading this next month. Being on Cerazette has made the world of difference to me, defo have to head back to doc now as soon as they re open

    I've been ringing around to try and source a pharmacy that has at least one pack. No joy.

    I've been on Cerazette before it was licensed to pharmacies(about 3 years now). I first got my prescription from The Well Woman Centre in Dublin. I called them and they have it in stock. They can't use a GP's prescription to dispense it. They can only give it to you if you see their doctor.

    Ok, so there is a Doctor's visit cost and then the cost of the prescription. At this stage and how little stocks are available I have no choice. They will (hopefully) give me two months supply, fingers crossed the licensing will be resolved when the amalgamation is complete by the time I need it again.

    I have only just been prescribed this pill. I see there are much older posts on this board from those who could not find supplies. and similar posts on UK forums. how annoying - you'd think the doctor would have known there are supply issues. I can't get it in Bray - so if anyone knows anywhere in Wicklow or South Dublin where I could get it - I would be really thankful.

    It's a small pharmacy across the road from colmans pub and the pizza hut. Here's their number as I phoned them before I got there and the girl said they had some in stock so it wasn't going to be a wasted journey.
    4970046

    If ur in no hurry for it a few pharmacies said they should have some innstock by next week but none of them were 100% sure
