Re: Trouble getting prescription for Daypro filled

[Guest guest]

I had a similar problem with my son's Inderal several years ago... I called

every pharmacy within a 30 mile radius til I found it.

Is Daypro available generic or soon to be available generically?

[ ] Trouble getting prescription for Daypro filled

I developed tolerance to Ultram so my Rheumy gave me a prescrip for

Daypro (oxaprozin) to replace the Ultram. The pharmacy only had 6

Daypro tablets left and gave me a partial fill with those six. Today

was when I was told to pick up the balance of the prescrip which I

badly need.

They dropped a bomb on me! Told me that I and my husband (on Daypro

for severe lower back pain) are among some 200+ customers that cannot

get their prescrips for it filled. Told me that they are out and have

called all of their suppliers and that " no one anywhere has Daypro

and we don't know when we will be able to get it " . What in the H__l

are we supposed to do now?

The pharmacy told me they have called my Drs office but they know he

hasn't returned the call about it as he has not changed my prescrip

to something else yet.

I realize that i need to call my dr and my husbands pain dr and will

be doing that tomorrow morning.

I haven't been reading the FDA stuff that has been posted on here and

I really did try to search for anything about Daypro on here but I

can't find anything referencing it's current rarity. Does anyone have

any idea of what is going on?

I was getting the generic version but the pharmacy ladies told me that

they cannot even find a supplier that has the brand form let alone the

generic.

My rheumy office called and are going to give me enough Vicodin to get

me to the next appt on the 17th.
