18 June 2024 at 16:16 A third of the pharmacies had prescription problems – back in operation In connection with the roll-out of a new prescription system, several Apotek 1 and Vitus Apotek pharmacies were not able to dispense e-prescriptions. The vast majority of prescriptions today are e-prescriptions. So a digital prescription. This led to customers not being able to collect prescription medicines. On Tuesday around 18:30 the systems are up and running again. That’s what Jostein Soldal in the Pharmacy Association tells news. – This problem is greatest where pharmacies are far apart. There are around 1,000 pharmacies in Norway and 700 that are still up and running, and therefore many places possible to go to another, says Soldal. – This is not a crisis, but a major inconvenience for those affected, he continues. According to Soldal, the problems have lasted for around four hours, and he does not know when the system will be up and running.
