Re: FDA stopped my shipment from MyRXforless

[Guest guest]

Let me rephrase that -

due to a STUPID decision!!!!!!

I wonder how many people will even go back to Thyrolar when it

becomes available again. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

PS I think Forest should do a Thyrolar loyalty thing when it comes

back.

PS 2 I don't remember where I heard it but I thought Thyrolar started

in the 50's or something like that. Maybe it was grandparented.

> The way I read this, however, Thyrolar should have been required to

go through the NDA process, but they were not. The current

unavailability of Thyrolar is due to a (stupid) decision on the part

of Forest to upgrade their equipment, stopping production on all

doses at the same time. The FDA did not require them to do this.

Someone on about.com emailed Forest and it's looking like it won't be

available again until Oct or Nov. I have enough to last me until mid

Nov.

That is not what I heard. What I heard is that they are modernizing equipment in order to expand production. But I will email Daryl to find out for sure.
