Title: Imitrex 4mg stat doses
Post by unsolved1 on Sep 12^th, 2006, 4:18pm

They do exist !! I finally got my hands on some today. Someone already said it (and of course they were correct), but the 4mg stat dose cartridges are yellow.

No more mass wasting of Imitrex for me ;)

Well that'll save a lot of those imitrex trees that they've had to cut down to make the larger doses.....

Does your co-pay drop in cost. If not, I hope they still give 6mg for the same price. :-/

I've had those bad boys for a while.......nurse friend of mine who works at pain management would give samples and give all the expired stuff that only us daredevils use.

Bummer they moved offices and we no longer share a building

I get my supply from my local neuro's office. They've been giving me all their samples for years. (TONS of the stuff). They've saved me from alot of pain! My primary doc has also given me samples. She also said anytime I need em' to call. :) So far, it's all been free. ;;D

PS. Sometimes I get the expired stuff too ! I'll use it regardless of when it expired !! It still always works ;)

I love the 4's! My Pharm didn't know they were out and had to order, pretty funny the look on their face when I brought that script in!

No, the copay cost doesn't go down, I still get 3 paks for $60, same as the 6's, which, BTW is the same for 10 vials. I use the 4's and the 6's for when I'm at work and need to get the hit over quick, and use the vials at home.
