Eye Drops Not Available
14 Answers
The local eye clinic had prescribed for me IOPIDINE eye drops for me to use three times a day in each eye. The local pharmacy say they cant supply me with these eye drops any more now and tell me I wont be able to get them in any other pharmacy now. Is anyone else having the same problems with supply?

contact the clinic and ask what is the substitute
clonidine eye drops are not as rare as hens teeth
are they prescribed by the Hospital or your GP?
if the GP then they have to write to him and ask him to prescribe the substitute
I had to tell my hospital doctor what 1/2 % pred eye drops were not available in Manchester and he looked at me despairingly.
I said 'I know I know. it is pred for chrissakes, dont look like that'
so the GP does 1% now BUT was reluctant to (double up) until asked to
Christie I got mixed up about who prescribes what
and got a very curt refusal from Dr Adam X - Christie does not prescribe GP based drugs
oo-er mrs that wasnt very helpful !
so good luck
