Usual Glaucoma Medication Suddenly Discontinued.

"Usual Glaucoma Medication Suddenly Discontinued."

About: Royal Derby Hospital

My last eye appointment at the Kings Centre was on Thursday 7th May 2015. All was well, pressures satisfactory and I was cleared for the next appointment in 9 month's time. The appointment letter duly arrived a couple of days later. So far so good. However when I went to renew my prescription today I was told by the pharmacist that the Lumigan I have been on for the last several years has been discontinued and I should have been told this by my doctor. I have not been told. What should I do now? .
