Meds not available again

Philippines
June 24, 2019 9:56pm CST
It took me like four pharmacy looking for the maintenance mom asked me to buy. I realized now that when they stopped selling this meds, it means the brand is gone. So, I was forced to buy meds that was not the same brand and the other is generic. I might advise her to have an appointment with the Doctor to renew her prescription. Does frustrate you, brand of that meds just ran out forces you to buy a different brand of meds? Have a nice day

Yes it does frustrates me if it happens to me because it is not easy to look from one place to another and it is not there.

@Letranknight2015 In the meantime maybe you could use the generic meds while you are waiting for your doctor's advise.

Yes, it does. Like for us. Some Doctors prescribe branded medicines for us especially antibiotics, some ate too expensvie and we always go for the generic ones.
