Kinson supplies – note there has been a reported shortage of Kinson, due to the difficulty in sourcing ingredients since Sept 2022. Local pharmacists may notice this over the Christmas period. Please do not mass panic buy- Sinemet 100/25mg or a generic Levodopa/ Carbidopa 100/25mg are viable alternatives .
Please check scripts and ensure a good supply over the festive season.
