Im really peed off guys as my doctor gave me a prescription on Tuesday for Orlistat and have been to/rang 10 chemists in all and N0 WHERE HAS IT :cry: they all told me the same thing THERE IS A MANIFACTURES PROBLEM , n dont even no if it will be coming back :eek: ...... Pain in the bum , there i was already to start had read up on it and everything, brought the book !!! And now i cant even get the bloody tablets GRRRRR:mad::mad: ...... Not Happy !!!
 
I have a drs apt today for this chesty flu but I have 8 days left of tablets. So I am wondering wether to ask about another set today rather than next week then I have a few days ahead of myself to try and find some!
 
Yep got the prescription but its the same down here in Kent as everywhere else, No Orlistat. Been told to try again next week. Think I might cut down to 2 a day instead of the 3, make them last a bit longer.
 
I've been calling pharmacists today with no luck. I've got about 8 days left so not too desperate yet.

One very helpful pharmacist did say that i could ask my Dr to prescribe Alli instead and double up the dose.
