Pharmacies Availability Shown on MedBud?

[R3d4]

Just wanted to know why the availability for me on MedBud ( Montu) does not correspond with actual availability. Montu are not the best at updating their formulary but most of the availability info on MedBud for them is wrong, so if I email a request for flowers using shown availability it's almost always wrong not actually available

It's a similar situation with my present clinic Mamedica® and I always find Mamedica's own formulary the most accurate with what is actually available now as they update regularly where as MedBud's page shows what is available (main suppliers I think) but not necessarily what is physically in stock at Montu I would hazard a guess at.
I'm not sure but will find out when I can

Ah that makes more sense. I guess there is an overlap of a week or so between distributor and chemist

We currently only display availability statuses from main distributors, we have warnings up on the home page and individual pharmacy listings to try clarify stock at other pharmacies will always differ.

Individual pharmacies may choose not to order more in and simply mark 'out of stock', reason for this is often bulk quantities having been purchased at a discounted rate. If we're showing as available, meds should still available if you choose other pharmacies - just ask your clinic to send your script elsewhere.

We will some point this year be moving to per-pharmacy stock levels, though they won't be universally available. Both Montu and Mamedica® will be covered from day one.

so if I email a request for flowers using shown availability it's almost always wrong not actually available

Any specific examples here would be helpful, I should be able to clarify. Unfortunately we do regularly see patients at certain clinics being declined because their own pharmacy is out of stock, while meds are still available elsewhere.
