Never had that problem in 2+ years. There was one time they only did a partial refill, but they had the rest a few days later. I hope they are able to order it for you.

Hi, wheb I first started on Cabergoline I found that quite a few chemists dont stock cabergoline, but my local chemist said they can always order stuff in if its needed.

I panicked this week as when my repeat prescription was issued and I contacted my chemist to see if it was ready to collect they said they were having problems getting it and the manufacturer didn't have any in stock, however the next day they managed to get some from somewhere.

Maybe if you use the same chemist every time they might get some in stock because they know you will need it.

I was quite suprised that it is not a commonly stocked drug as I think it is used in parkinsons as well as for prolactinomas?
