I have been having this issue for several months. I call around to the pharmacies until I find one that has it in stock. Then I transfer the script to that location. That was the first thing my rheumy asked me when I went in last week. He sent the script to the pharmacy where I have been able to find it. He said that they will set it aside for me when it comes in. I hope you are able to resolve this issue. My rheumy stated that it's a nationwide shortage. Some pharmacists have asked if he can just prescribe something else. Apparently, they do not understand that you have something that works, you do not change it. He said that he's been forced to change the injectable to pill form and feels that it is not as effective. Hugs to you!
