We’ve stretched our supply to 2-3 weeks, but what if when the time comes the tablets are out of stock ?.
Blood pressure medication has to be carefully controlled, you have to build up to the required dose, 2mg 3days, 4mg 3days, 6mg 3days, etc. It would be dangerous to come off the meds suddenly.
In a SHTF situation we have herbal remedies to help to stretch our tablets but we would have no chance, all the BS talk of securing stocks of medicines incase of a hard brexit meant nothing.
I think supplies will be in place as the Brexit stockpile will still be in place, i'm pretty sure the reason they won't supply more than one month is down to preventing the public from hoarding, but you could always buy online from someone like ukmeds, might cost a bit more but one way of getting an emergency supply.
