Resupply of pethidine tablets

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Department of Health and Social Care should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Hi
I was prescribed pethidine tablets 50mg tablets for angling kidney stone problems, however since December 2022 I have been unable to get them due to supply problems

After 2 years what actually is the problem

I am on a different painkiller which unfortunately does not work so well resulting in myself having to attend A&E 26 times I 12 months for pain relief

Will pethidine tab?yes ever be available again

Yours faithfully,

Julie
