Subject: proglycem on backorder
Just as an FYI--
This week I ordered a refill of proglycem for Amelia and was told by the
pharmacy (Walgreens) that their distributer had it on backorder and would
not have more for a few months (!). Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, my
vet's place, was also told this by their distributer (don't know whether
it's the same distributer or not). Luckily Angell had a bottle on hand to
give me. I called the drug's manufactuer, Baker Norton Pharmaceuticals, and
I was told that they do in fact have plenty of proglycem on hand, and they
don't know why any distributers would have it backordered. I was also told
that pharmacists can order the drug directly from Baker Norton.
So, if you try to get proglycem and are told it's unavailable, have your
pharmacist call Baker Norton Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-347-4774 and order
proglycem directly from the source.
I can't even begin to tell you what a panic this threw me into-- I know
Amelia's days are numbered, but to pass on because a drug was backordered,
well, that would be profoundly wrong.
