Chemist & Druggist magazine found 78% of pharmacists surveyed said it has been harder to get hold of products from manufacturers running wholesaler distribution models.
Patients are suffering because of shortages in some branded medicines, with Roche's Xenical and Lilly's Zyprexa the most difficult to obtain.
On a wider measure of availability, nearly a quarter of chemists said between 20 and 50 drugs were currently out of stock at their wholesalers, with 14% saying the figure was more than 50.
