> right it is the cytosar and methotrexate that is difficult to locate. Thanks in

It looks like cytosar was a Pharmacia drug, but that company was acquired by Pfizer (just before they could move their headquarters to my town, actually) and the Pfizer website does not recognize the drug name. Perhaps a ccall to Pfizer?

In an FDA site for methotrexate
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/onctools/labels.cfm?GN=methotrexate
I find:
Manufacturer
Ben Venue Laboratories Bedford, Ohio 44146
Distributor
Bedford Laboratories Bedford, OH 44146

I do not find cytosar there.

BUT I found this:
