This supply issue is resolved. Stock is with the supplier, it may take time for that stock to get through the supply chain to pharmacies.
About the issue
The supplier advised that a shipment of DHC Continus 60mg x 60 tabs was delayed.
This reduced the amount of stock in the supply chain. Supplies were managed to help distribute the supply of this product as fairly as possible.
