Estratest Generic On Indefinite Back Order! (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

Could this mean it may no longer be produced? I had a complete hysterectomy in 2000 and nothing else has worked for me! HELP!

I was able to use an RX Savings Card and get estratest for 19.97 at walmart. It was going to be 101.00 and 287.00 at my local small town family owned pharmacy. Show them at the pharmacy and they apply it when you have the script filled. I was overjoyed.

I have had the same problem with mine. I am in Tennessee and filled my script on the 13th of December and they could only give me 14 pills. I am now out and the pharmacist told me it is on indefinite back order???? Waiting for the doctor to change me to something else. The problem is I have tried four other replacement hormones since my hysterectomy in April and this is the one that works!!!

I called a local WalGreens and they still had the pills. I had to "transfer" the script (which they did by phone). BUT WalGreens doesn't take TRICARE prescription payment, so I paid the $34 for the Estratest HS. (I didn't care how much it cost)..LOL... CALL around and see which pharmacist still has some.

My wife had the same problem with getting her Rx refilled. The pharmacist told her the same thing as others have found out that it is "quarantined" and on back order. Her doctor also prescribed Covaryx HS for her. She's just started using it. Let's hope it works as well as Estrogenmtest Hstab did.

Jon, I since shopped around and there are several privately owned drug stores who don't seem to have a problem getting estratest. I got mine filled at one of them last week. They said they had three different supplies making the SAME thing.. I'm assuming the big pharma's (like Walmart, etc)..are the ones having the problem. Mine is half strength and looks like the old Solvay type pill. The number on the pill is #1507. Good luck

Amneal is the same manufacturer as Interpharm (they purchased Interpharm several years ago and still use the same manufacturing facility. So it's strange that it stopped working for you. Should have been the same pill. The good news is that I've heard it will be back to regular inventory soon.

Mike,

I am also on Cymbalta. It is approximately $200 for a months supply from the local pharmacy, or $200 for a 3 month supply from Medco. My doctor suggested I try Canada Generic and I now get my 90 day script for approximately $100!! Cymbalta is a category C drug.

In my case, the Neighborhood Market (walmart) sent me home with 7 pills and told me about the "quarantine".. Walgreens knew nothing about the "quarantine" and neither did the Private Drug Store I called...because they had plenty and seemed surprised. ALTHOUGH my new pharmacist said they would have to contact for a new script every 6 months. Making a run on it is sadly, a consequence. This entire issue has been going on for years. Obviously, the other drug stores had other suppliers :)
Thank god for this forum. We need some positive input guys :)

Depends on the definition of "hoarding". If I tell the Doctor I want to take the Full Strength of Estratest, but only take a half a pill (HS)...then I actually get a 60 day supply with the script refilled every month. In a year, that would last me six extra months. Do the math.

Hi Dianne,

I, for one, appreciate you sharing your information with us. I hope you will let us know if you get your prescription from canadageneric. The posts here have been very helpful in letting us know this is not just a local situation and sharing information about alternatives to Estratest.

Mike,

Thank you. If there is a way to let those of you who are here, in need of this medication, know personally - OUTSIDE of this forum, I will be more than happy to let you know when I get my medication from canadageneric (now known as choicepharmacy) Thanks to Interlineal Peruse - I won't publicize it here.

Interlineal Peruse....please stop with the rude behavior, it is unbecoming and useless in this forum. The people who need this medication are here to get and help others, not attack.

As a professional moderator - (if this were MY forum,) you would have been booted immediately, as your posts are rude, attacking and useless to any here who are only seeking information on how to get their needed medication. Please find a new place to TROLL.

Most sincerely,

Dianne

THANK YOU DIANE. To Interlineal Peruser: For those of us who need this medication just to function normally, your wise crack trolling is cruel and not appreciated. It would be a shame if good people abandoned this forum simply because of your insensitivity. Basically, it's really none of your business. Please stop and go elsewhere for your flame wars. Thank you. Colete

To all that were interested,

I DID receive my medication yesterday. It took a lot of communicating with my GYN's nurse and canadageneric (now Choice Pharmacy) - but in the end it was all worth it.

Hi Dianne,
Congrats! I'm glad to hear that someone has received the medications they need. My wife has alleviated her situation by using Premarin and getting a testosterone injection monthly. It seems to be working as a replacement for Estratest. The latest news from the pharmacists Northern California is "We think we MAY receive some Estratest in mid-March"

Mike,
I am so glad your wife is getting some relief! I had to go around my elbow to get to my *** to get it and thank God I had a persistent nurse, who was willing to help me. I promised her that I would pass on the information, IF I got my medication, and I have. I hope those out there who need it will be able to have the same luck. Now, when it comes time in June to refill, we'll see if it is still an issue.

Your wife is very lucky to have a man concerned enough to help her. My husband was about to panic....but was very grateful when the pack came yesterday!

Good luck everyone. I hope the information I've provided is enough. If not, ask and I will give you the information and directions on how to go about getting it through Choice Pharmacy, out of Canada.

I am.from.New Jersey and this was my first script for Estrace and Rite Aid said they banned the medication? I called Wallgeens Costco.and CVS they all said there distributor doesn't carry it? Then my OB called the Rite Aid and.now all of a sudden.they will have it.in April.so yes there is something odd going on.

Alleluia!!! We got a call from our local pharmacy (Northern California) yesterday and they located a manufacturer who had Estratest equivalent. The company is called ANI Pharmaceutical and they use the medication name "estrified estrogen and methyltestosterone". This is a company located in Minnesota. Our pharmacy now has a stock of this and is filling all of their backorder prescriptions. They did say that the distributor they normally use still does not have any Estratest equivalent in stock.

Diane, I'm with you. Frankly, I think men should stay off this post. They have no idea what it means to have Estratest taken away from a woman who had been using it and been very happy with the outcome. Now perhaps the FDA should reconsider the use of Viagra. After all, it can cause blindness and heart attacks. There you go, gentlemen!
