Hi everyone,
Just to follow up on our last post. The support group is receiving alot of enquiries from families.
It appears Alphapharm are not releasing reserve stock to pharmacies. Some people have been advised by Alphapharm that they will only release stock at the request of a Doctor/Endocrinologist. You may need to contact your Dr and give them the details of your designated pharmacy so they can arrange the bottle to be sent direct from Alphapharm.
As previously mentioned don't wait until you only have a few tablets left before filling your script, as it may take a few days to receive more tablets. If you get stuck the major hospitals do have emergency stock. Some Dr's may write out a new script for the equivelant dose in Cortisone Acetate.
If you have any queries or problems please don't hesitate to contact the Support Group on 03 9513 9255 or visit the website www.cahsga.org.au
Just for your information the Support Group has written to Alphapharm on behalf of the CAH community. Mainly to express our concern and disappointment at the handling of this situation which is causing some stress and inconvenience to families.
All the best
CAHSGA Inc
