I usually get my monthly prescription delivered by Wells Pharmacy in Neath I have rang the pharmacy for the last 7days to find out in advance if my delivery is still unchanged ,I cannot get an answer and my medication is due for diabetes type2 and chronic pain for pancreatitis also I have no enzymes and urgently need my creon capsules to eat food i have none left and i cannot eat. Thank you

HI and welcome,

I would have thought your medication will still be delivered as usual. The pharmacy may only be open at specific times, which could be why you're unable to get hold of them. Google the pharmacy and it should tell you their opening times during the lockdown.

Hope this helps.

Hi @gillianpalmer123 - Your pharmacy seems to be open daily excluding Sundays. If you can't get in touch with them, you could try ringing your GP's surgery to see if they can help. I'm very sorry for the situation you find yourself in, & hope you get sorted tomorrow. Please kindly let us know how you get on.
