Lack of medication

I'm facing a serious shortage of medication.
Yesterday, the pharmacist called to tell me that they couldn't get hold of enough of one of my medications.
I told my doctor about this today.
We decided that I would manage with a third of the usual amount for the time being.

The pharmaceutical wholesaler is not accepting orders for the medication.
The pharmacist told me this.
About a month ago, I heard that a friend of mine who lives in northern Japan couldn't get the medication at all.

I have some medication left, and the shortage won't last forever.
Like many people, I just have to endure it.
I can't get any substitutes.
