Why Is There A Shortage Of Donnatal Extentabs? I am told that there is a back order until June 2013. How is this possible?

I called the company and the donnatal extend tabs have been discontinued. There is no one producing them at all and no plans to do so. I would contact the company directly and plead your case for production of the extend tabs. I too am upset and scared about not having them available.

Has anyone heard any updates on getting refills on Donnatal Extentabs again? I feel so much better on these than the regular and the regular is getting scarce too?
Has any of the compounding pharmacies been able to make something close?

No problem with the brand name Donnatal except its very expensive, what is hard to get is the generic form of the drug which most insurances will cover no problem. What I read in another forum was the only company that makes the generic has ceased production hence shortages for all.

Same for me, the extendtabs are so much better than the regular Donatal. I can't get the extendtabs now, been trying for over a year, and as recently as this week am still being told it is on backorder

I too have been on Donnatal Extend tabs for 5 years and the shortage began in November of 2012. My pharmacy swept other pharmacy's in the area and were able to hold 180 pills for me that I made last until July 2013.
Donnatal's website even states, "Due to production issues there will be short term supply constraints on Donnatal® Extentabs. Both Donnatal® Tablets and Donnatal® Elixir are still available to prescribe to your patients as an alternative therapy until Donnatal® Extentabs once again become available."
I don't find the regular Donnatal to be as effective as the extended tabs.

According to the FDA, there are no current shortages of Donnatal Extendtabs. You can see for yourself here:
fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/DrugShortages/ucm314739.htm
Perhaps the back-order was only associated with the specific pharmacy you went to?
