Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hi everyone, For those of us who use Methotrexate in the injection form. Well guess what… The manufacturer’s of the bottles the medicine comes in are no longer making them or the manufacturer’s of the medicine (can’t remember which one) has put a halt on it for several months to a year. My rheumy had warned me that this was going to happen and to try to stock up on the medicine – well went to get my script today and the pharmacist said good luck you wont find it anywhere around here for quiet awhile. My rheumy said the insurance companies wont be happy because the next medicine that I now have to go on is going to cost them the “big” bux vs the small amount they have to pay out on the metho. He said once insurance companies realize this that they will get on the horn and make sure methorexate is widely available again. But what sucks for me is the methotrexate was one of the few meds that actually helped me – so here we go again having to start out on a new med most likely next week. So for those of you on methotrexate inj. Run to your pharmacy and see if you can still get it, if not call your rheumy asap. Have a good weekend. Hugs, Deanna LUPUS Serenity Prayer...
