i am not being funny purplemum, you just need to do what you need to do. if that mean buying all the ali supply, so be it. hopefully it will sort it out soon. spoke to a friend who was on it a couple of yeard ago and she said they went through a shortage then and it resolved. so fingers and toes all crossed

well after visiting many chemists in london today on the hunt for alli.. the stories from each one very different.. no stock because they are changing the packaging... no stock because they are being discontinued due to some recent news about their effects??? and boots on oxford street said they would no longer be stocking them as they are focusing
on other weightloss drugs

The only reasonably consistent stuff I've seen is on pharmacy news type sites. A couple say there was an issue with 'good manufacturing practice or processes' or something at the plant that makes some of the ingredients for xen, as well as tamiflu and other meds. There are supposedly shortages so some of the other drugs, but some have been allowed to continue as they are more important meds. With regards the health concerns, there were concerns re kidney, but Europe did a study recently saying there was insufficient evidence or something along those lines. I think the outcome was that it could continue to be sold. As there are reported shortages of other meds from roche it seems that a problem at the factory may be a more likely explanation. But who really knows? I found this scouting on the net, so it could all be hearsay.

Well guys had my first weigh in without any of my lovely blue tabs for a full week, I was so worried as I put 1lb on last week and I had used my last two tablets during that week and I so thought it was due to no orlistat and not over eating/drinking. Well result was 6lbs off!!!!!!!!! I am over the moon, we can do it without, I thought positive and upped my walking and I'm now not so worried about managing while we wait

I managed to get two months supply in Aberdeen from a chemist on urm.... Mount Street (if that helps anyone) They don't seem to have any regular customers and its the only chemist with any in stock out of the 20 ish I phoned yesterday after getting a script for it. They said they don't know when they are getting more in. Another chemist said it would be June before they expected any more in.

That's great. Obviously taking the tablets has made you think more about what you're eating and you've been able to still do that without them
It gives us all some hope. Well done xxx
