What should I do if there is no pharmacy doing the recipe drops I have prescribed from my doctor? Good morning. I have a medicine on the prescription, eye drops (name: 3% sol. Cocaini muriatici), there is no pharmacy that makes these drops, can this drug be replaced with something else? Thank you. Best regards

In the described situation, you should return to the doctor with the information that you are not able to fulfill the prescription. The ophthalmologist should suggest another treatment in such a situation. In fact, currently pharmacies integrated with GdziePoLek do not have cocaine hydrochloride in stock: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/kokaina Cocaine in a 1-4% solution is mainly used for local eye anesthesia. Among the finished products there are eye drops with anesthetic proximethacaine: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/proxymetacaine However, whether it is possible to replace an unavailable prescription drug in this way must be decided by the doctor. Such a change will not be made by the pharmacy staff.
