Hey I just wanted to give you ladies some info I learned from the Amazon pharmacist I called this morning. Yes there is a shortage and it’s primarily bc of increase in demand due to the fda removal of the black box warning (much needed). I had thrown away my box from my most recent refill so I wanted to get that info— it was Padagis Labs. I was told there was now new stock from a different manufacture called Prasco Labs so I went ahead and successfully placed a refill. I have learned to start keeping a journal of all my HRT manufactures after an issue I had with progesterone once (im notorious for just dumping refills into my old bottles which i prob need to stop doing) so I think it might be good for all of us to do that now with all these shortages. I know it’s not common, but side effects from certain generics from diff manufactures do happen and it’s so helpful to know the exact manufacture you had a problem with to avoid in the future. Sooooo— I can tell you that as of this minute Amazon is able to refill Estradiol .01% cream but the manuf likely will be diff and the pharmacist said it’s likely future refills will be different until the shortage is resolved and they can resume a contract with 1-2 main suppliers. I’m sure this isn’t only Amazon but that’s all I can speak for specifically.
Hope this helps. My advice — if you’ve got a refill out there and you’re within the timeframe where a refill is available I would try and place it now.
Ok. There’s one stressor off my plate for today. Now onto the next … ;)
