@nimalw, You heard part of the story, it looks like a temporary issue due to availability.
I found this information about a Supply Chain Alert for Prazosin-
"The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England and Improvement (NHSE&I) have issued a supply disruption alert for Hypovase® (prazosin) 500microgram tablets (Pfizer)
Pfizer are out of stock of Hypovase® (prazosin) 500 microgram tablets from late November 2021 until mid-January 2022 due to a manufacturing issue."

@nimalw, If you take Prazosin, your pharmacy might have a supply in stock. I would suggest that you refill your current prescription before it runs out, or ask your pharmacist or doctor about a substitute. Are you running low or needing a refill soon?
