Hi Noa:
Did you look at Mylan site very carefully? There are several different 'strengh' of Nefadozone available, including 250 mg. Try to look at the following site, below.http://www.mylan.com/product_guide/generics/index.php
It's VERY STRANGE that your pdoc. saying ONLY 100 mg. strength available at Mylan. I, too heavily depend on Serzone/Nefadozone, 150 mg. twice a day, sometime, three times a day according my moods.
I was VERY shocked and surprised to read your post, ... 'Nefadozone/Serzone craze/demand,' but we should be well-prepared for this to happen, sooner or later.In my case, I order 'three months' supply' through my insurance Co. My next re-fill is just one day's away, 31st of May, 'tomorrow.' I usually submit my re-fill through Internet and it goes very smooth without any hassles. Even I can submit e-mail through their web-site whenever there is/are questions to ask. It's very practical and convenient. I highly recommend you this practice, ... to order med. through your Insurance Co. My mail-order pharmacy is located in Texas, which has a contract with my Health Insurance Co. It's one of the biggest mail-order pharmacies in USA.
Also, regarding Local pharmacy, ... Once I too had a problem of filling one of meds. In my recollection, however I trusted the pharmacist's words and went back to him for the rest of med without any trouble.
Also, it's very common for any pharmacies to run out some of drugs, particulaly 'heart' related medications. Now, Serzone must be one of most demanding meds on the market. Hopefully, NO black-markets to pop-up due to 'high' demand on Serzone/Nefadozone.
In my case, after this, unpleasant experience at Local pharmacy, I started to order all of my meds. through mail-order, ... normally three months' supply. But, I also did order just one month's supply because my pdoc. mistakenly wrote one month' instead three months'. I usually receive within ten days, ... 14 days at latest for all of my orders.In my suggestion, try to call your Insurance Co. to find out 'how to get' Nefadozone if this, shortage of Nefadozone continues at local pharmacies. Or, you might be better to ask Mylan Lab. directly about location on Nefadozone. Because, sometimes you may need to travel some distance to find one, ... rather a long wait to get one.
BTW, I usually keep all of my 'precious' med. at least, three months' ample supply just 'in case.' Then, I still have plenty of Nefadozne inside one of my dressers. Probably, it lasts until end of this summer, 'Labor' Day.
