Sansert is not listed in the 1999 PDR (listing of medications available in the USA). Sandoz, the original manufacturer, has been taken over by Novartis--and a check of Novartis' website does not show this product being marketed under any different brand name.
Your pharmacy should be able to tell you whether another company may be selling it under a generic label or under a different brand name.
Even if it's not presently available, I'd suggest you ask every 6 to 12 months. It's not uncommon for a branded product to be discontinued by one company and then be picked up by another outfit.
Norvartis is making Migranal, the nasal spray version of DHE45. I wonder if they are dropping less profitable items.
