I shared the frustration when Medihaler Ergotamine disappeared from the U.S. market. 3M Canada used to sell it but it was discontinued there several years ago.
But they gave me a source in New Zealand but the information was dated 12/96 and I never checked it out. You might want to give it a try. 3M Canada said it available from:
Glenfield 7 Day Pharmacy LTD
407 Glenfield Rd.
Glenfield, Auckland, New Zealand
Phone 011-649-444-7289 Fax. 011-649-444-7288
Please let me know if you try and find it available.
As an alternative, I've had good experience with Ergomar SL tabs. The trick is to take as soon as the first sign of an attack appears.
