Manufacturer no procrit
I am on procrit and my doctor's office - mn gastro just called to say that Target/Triessent cannot supply this med as the manufacturer does not have it. I am terrified - need the procrit to complete last 12 weeks of tx -- can anyone help me out with this?
Or, you can get your treament doc or primary doc to refere you to a hematologist. They keep that stuff on hand all the time.
Thanks - I think that I was confused as the pt coordinator said that they could not obtain it from the manufacturer - that sometimes that just happens with a manufacturer - that they just don't have it - that was what really scared me.
On ordering ahead - I agree but procrit was on hold - hgb fell but was asymptomatic - ended up in urgent care soon after that and used the last shot --hopefully now we can get a schedule going so that I can roll through the last 12 weeks of tx.

Mine had to order mine every month admittedly because it was so expensive. I'm glad you found out where the problem was and that it will be fixed shortly. I always tried to make sure I ordered while I still had some left extra (just like with the IFN) God knows you don't want to run out the anemia is no fun - no fun at all~!
Some pharmacies don't like to stock expensive meds that might expire while sitting on their shelves. But, any pharmacy should be able to get any med - we'll almost any. You might consider checking with your insurance company. Sometimes they are particular about where an RX is filled, especially if they have their own 'speciality pharmacy' for mail orders.
Let me correct a detail on my above post - my doc send my script to target instead of my pharmacy walgreen/triessent. After a call from triessent I called my doctor's office back and they now sending the script to the right pharmacy. Waiting for a return call to verify that I will receive procrit. The problem with obtaining from manufacturer according to mn gastro is target. Sorry for any confusion -
