Should I be worrying about potential restrictions to medication access?

I checked where my drugs are manufactured - Germany, India, Switzerland and Australia. Not planning to try stockpiling yet! And I’ll leave the face masks for those who really need them! 

You are correct, @Afraser . I would not have been able to hold the supply at home- but it is worth knowing that it is held in readiness for me.

Just note that some chemists will not fill more than one ‘dose’ (eg a month) of medication unless you have a letter authorising them to do so from your doctor. My local chemist had always been helpful (for holidays, for example) but a different chemist was quite adamant. Legally he is correct. Many chemists will do it if they know the customer well but technically they are not supposed to. No problem if the chemist will hold a supply for you but if for any reason people want to hold a few extra weeks supply at home, get your GP to authorise it in writing. 

In the end, my oncologist recommended that I order 2 month's supply of my medication, to be held by the pharmacy. The pharmacist agreed to this, as protection against anticipated long delays at port of imported goods. I feel a bit easier, knowing that I won't be left high and dry. I see now that there are general recommendations that people with prescribed medications fill an extra script.

Great! A family member could not get tamoxifen recently here in Adelaide, and our local pharmacist was fantastic, found a source and within three days she had a full supply. xx

Thanks, @Tinks. I am going to speak with my friendly pharmacist tomorrow and see what he thinks.With any luck, they are produced in Australia.

Your hospital/specialist onco pharmacist if you get your drugs through a hospital or onco clinic route or your GP or local pharmacist can look up the meds on line or through pharmacy databases. They should be able to tell you of any shortages and also when stocks are expected. Hope it’s all OK xx
