Is armour on backorder?

I called my drugstore (CVS) this morning to have my armour of 120 mg refilled.  They told me it was on backorder from the manufacturer and they were not getting a ship date from them.  They told me they had other mg. but not this one.  Has anyone else had this happen? Truly, this is the LAST thing I need right now!

2 grain Armour which is 120mg is the problem As AR said the 1 grain is fine and most pharmacies will compensate with 1 grain x's 2 until the 2 grain is plentiful again

I'm not completely up to date on the situation, but I believe the 120mg (mcg?) doseage is the only one on backorder.

Call back and see if you can get 60mg (or mcg?) instead. I suppose you would have to get your scrip re-written for two doses a day instead of one.

It might cost twice as much, but at least you won't be changing brands.

I don't take Armour, but I remember a thread about this a week or two back.
