My B/P med is on back order

[Marthe48]

I ordered a refill last Th. The pharmacy gave me 5 pills Sunday and said they should get a shipment Mon. or Tu. I took the last one today and checked with them. They didn't get their order. They called another pharmacy for me, but they don't have it either. It is a combination pill, and I guess they can get the components. I take one of the component medicines at night, and the pharmacists told me to take one of those in the am and regular pm, and see how I do without the fluid pill. I've been taking the combination pill since the 1980s. I ended up calling my dr. to see if she agrees with the idea.

I wonder if this is a sign of plague-driven shortages?

1. Losartan?

Mine was on back order a while ago, a little before the pandemic. Apparently the shortage is over as I got 90 days worth recently.

4. Same here. Finally got my 90 day supply.

5. I could get only 14 days. One box.

6. propranolol/HCTZ

at least it has lol in the name

It seems like the pharmacy can get the separate pills, but the combo is scarce. I get generic, don't know if there is a brand name.

2. I hope not. I made sure all my prescriptions were filled to the max (90 days) prior to this whole

CV mess happening and I also don't have any confidence in rump or his admin. in doing anything, it seemed like when they do anything, they make it far worse.

Good luck to you on getting a rapid refill!

7. I had all of mine filled for 90 days.

March 14th on this one, day after I started isolating. We've been affected by Covid-19 for 15 weeks. At least since I started isolating.

3. I take ramapril I got a 90 day supply yesterday.

I asked for 90 day supplies on all three of my prescriptions just in case.
