It was a couple months ago (at least down here in Florida), a lot of Medicaid hmos switched to brand retin a as their preferred product and I think it caught a lot of wholesalers off guard, but I'm pretty sure it's all good now

The pharmacy I go to is saying there is a problem in terms of manufacturing. I have been waiting

Earning rebates at the expense of the federal government. And Pharma is always the biggest winner of all. Our healthcare system is so effed up.

We use AmerisourceBergen, checked today, they had it in stock, but there are manufacturing issues, anticipated date is late december, so once they blow through what they have in stock won't be getting anymore till late Demeter

 

[PikminOC]

You keep it in stock? Its very expensive..

We don't keep it stocked, order it for the next day if we get a script for it

 

[PikminOC]

I turned in the script. Now I wait...I turned it in at least a week ago.

It all depends on the pharmacy u try and fill it at and the wholesaler they use. I had a guy the other day trying to get generic effexor, CVS told them it was a mfg backorder and they couldn't get it, I had plenty of it in stock and my wholesaler did too, best bet would be to call pharmacies in your area and see if they are able to get it from the supplier

This is a Valeant product. Walgreens has something like a 20 year contract with Valeant. Walgreens has a special inventory of just Valeant products. Check a local Walgreens. I have plenty brand name at mine.

Valeant - that's all you need to know.

Remember their Phillidor fiasco?
