Title: Imaytex Injections
Post by W_Perry on May 19^th, 2003, 2:07am

I just heard from 2 different druggists that said Imatrex is being discontinued in Canada, Its a long weekend here and as I am almost running out(poor planning on my part) I travelled all over the city looking for drug stores lthat have some in stock, I did manage to find 4 injections but was both told me that the injection will no longer be available and that something else is coming out to replace it.
Does anyone have any info on this? I sure owuld like to get any info possible ,Ive looked at the GlaxoWellcome Web Site but couldnt find any info.

Thanks for the help
Wayne

W_Perry I did not hear any new drug that is going to replace imitrex injections that is coming out.Why don't you email Glaxo and ask them that question and let me know whats going up there in canada.And btw how much does imitrex statdoses cost in canada.

Just Had A Dr. Appt. Last Wed. gave me a refill fo it and didn't say a word about not makinging it any more. In fact I have been PF :) for 3 weeks now and the Dr. told me to hold on to it until I needed it it was good for 1 year from the time it was written

I asked my pharmacist today when I refilled my trex. He said he had not heard anything like that. It's a major moneymaker for them, so I can't seem them biting the hand that feeds.

Just saw another Druggist and a Dr and they both said that Imatrex Injections are discontinued in Canada so he gave me another prescription and told me to hunt around to find some , I have a referral to a Neuro to see asap so will ask him whats up.

The druggist I saw called the wharehouse and they confirmed that it was discontinued...
They better have a room in the looney bin if I cant get more ...
I have been paying about $40.00 Canadian per shot .
