At Kings Pharmacy in Birmingham, we understand how stressful it can be when a medicine you rely on is suddenly unavailable. Medicine shortages are an increasingly common issue across the UK, affecting patients, prescribers and pharmacists alike. Whether you take regular medication for a long-term condition or are collecting a short-term prescription, shortages can cause anxiety and confusion.
We want our patients to know that they are not alone. Kings Pharmacy is committed to doing everything possible to help you access the medication you need, even when stocks are limited. We also offer advice on what you can do to reduce the chances of being affected and how to manage if your regular prescription is temporarily unavailable.
Struggling to Get Your Medication? We’re Here to Help
At Kings Pharmacy, we know how stressful it can be when you’re running out of your regular medication — especially if it’s hard to find. That’s why we’ll go above and beyond to make sure you don’t go without the treatment you need. If your usual medicine is unavailable, our team will do everything possible to source it or find the safest, most suitable alternative for you.
We’ll Do Whatever It Takes to Get Your Medication
Medicine shortages happen, but we won’t let that stop us from helping you. Our team works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure you get the treatment you need, even when stocks are low. This includes:
– Contacting multiple suppliers and wholesalers to track down hard-to-find medicines
– Liaising directly with your GP to arrange suitable alternatives if your usual medication isn’t available
– Checking nearby pharmacies to locate stock and advising you where to collect it
– Providing generic substitutes where appropriate — equally safe, equally effective
When it comes to your health, we don’t stop until we’ve explored every option.
Your Health Is Our Priority
If we need to dispense a different brand or generic version, we’ll explain everything clearly so you feel confident about your treatment. We’ll answer your questions, guide you through your options, and make sure you’re comfortable with any changes.
Generic Substitutions – A Safe Alternative
If your usual medication is out of stock, we may be able to provide you with a generic version of the same medicine. Generic medications contain the same active ingredient as branded ones and are just as effective, although they may look slightly different in shape or colour.
If we do dispense a different brand than you’re used to, our pharmacists will explain the change and answer any questions you may have. Your safety and confidence are our top priorities.
