Calcium 500-possible supply problems

Post by Angel »

Just popping in to give a heads up on the above tablets. They are unavailable here from all pharmacies including the hospital one because of a manufaturing incidence.
I am not sure if it is just us that are affected down in the Sunny South, but if anyone takes these please check you are not going to run out immeninently in case you need to check with a Doctor what to change to. We have been told it is going to go on for a month and have been changed over to Calcium acetate instead but I just wanted to warn of possible supply problems so you can all check. :)
