So from the FDA site, there is a drug shortage from those two manufacturers and they "cannot estimate a release date". Just lovely!
Here is a link to the info that I received:
www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/DrugShortages/ucm050792.htm#tetracycline If you are currently taking one of the tetracycline dosages from one of those two manufacturers, I would suggest that you call your pharmacist before needing to refill your 'script
. If they don't have the tetracycline, then ask if they can get it from another manufacturer, if not, then calmly call your doc and explain that your 'script
can't be refilled because of this shortage and ask to be put on a different abx.
I just thought it would be nice for those on tetracycline to have a heads' up before they try to get their 'script
refilled!
