Title: Who took away all the Sansert?
Post by dtruett on Oct 20^th, 2002, 1:12pm

I don't get relief from much, but Sansert has had some efficacy. I tried to refill a Rx at my large pharmacy (RiteAid) and they were out. They called their large wholesaler and they were out w/ no restock date. I called Merck Medco, my 90 supplier. They were also out, and they get their stock from the manufacturer, Novartin. What gives? I saw in the Survey Results from we at this site that Sansert was tied for the third best prophylatic.
I did get a price quote from a Canadian pharmacy, but I'm not sure it's stocked and if so, they too would have not resupply, in addition to no insurance coverage. Anyone else in the same situation? ??? ??? ??? ::)

May want to contact Novartis directly and see if they still make it.

I am having a problem with getting Sancert too. Have been on vacation in England, France and Spain and could not find Sancert there either. all of them said it was not available at this time.I was able to get Zomig over the counter in France and actually found it better than Sancert. As I just got back from my trip yesterday, have not been able to call my doctor will call and see if she will give me a perscription for this. The best part of this med. is you only need to take once aday. Will welcome any feed back on this med. if you have taken it how well did it work for you?

Mustang, I do not understand what you are doing. Sansert is a preventative. Something you take every day to prevent the ha from occuring. Zomig is an abortive that you take once the ha has occured. It will only last in effectiveness for 2 hours. That was my experience with it. I get 8 ha every day and for me I would have to take zomig 8 times a day for it to help me. I wouldn't put to much emphasis on it stoping your ha from occurring. Good luck!
