Cocois Avalability

i also use Cocois but my doctor normally gives me 6 tubes at a time so i havent ordered any for a while , i am going to try ordering them to see if i get them , Trouble is there is no alternative to cocois so this will cause problems for those of us who use it ..I am sure our Chemist will use the B word as he uses it about everything else

Scooterjo: have you also asked for Sebco ? it is the same thing.

I will be contacting my dermatologist in the next couple of days. It certainly did not come up as an option. But thanks for the heads up. Keep well

in 2019 I think, I had a problem to obtain an ointment I have prescribed called Trimovate. It had temporarily been taken off the approved/licensed treatments available on NHS. My doctor still prescribed it, and I was eventually able to get Boots to order it, BUT it cost the GP Practice more than usual as it was an "off the list" treatment. One Lloyds pharmacist tried to tell me that my GP was not allowed to precribe it and tried to confiscate my prescription. However, I had read up on the situation, and discussed already with my GP as as it was the only truly effective treatment for my particular condition he was happy to prescribe it, and it was a decision for his practice, not the local pharmacy. Maybe Cocois has gone off prescription temporarily? But it seems to be available online. And as I say, Sebco is identical. The Psoriaisis Association do note some treatments that are discontinued or whatever, but I do not see anything about Cocois: https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/unavailable-treatments If you continue to have a problem you could contact them as suggested on that page.

Hi Scooterjo, Following your post we contacted the manufacturers of Cocois ointment, RPH Pharmaceuticals AB, to see if there were any supply issues with the product. They confirmed that Cocois is currently unavailable in 100g quantities, and is expected to return to stock in mid-March. However, Cocois ointment is still available in the smaller 40g size, so it would be worth asking your doctor/ pharmacist if they are able to get hold of this for you. If you would like any further information RPH Pharmaceuticals AB can be contacted by email on customer.care@recipharm.com, or phone on 0845 023 0467. We hope this helps. Amber, Psoriasis Association

Amber Many thanks for the information. I will go back to my GP and see what can be done to rectify. Keep well
