Drug shortages.... article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/shortages-of-key-drugs-endanger-patients/2011/04/26/AF1aJJVF_story.html?wpisrc=al_national)

FDA list (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/DrugShortages/ucm050792.htm)

I have one on the list -- desmopressin. Desmo is used after brain injuries to control kidney function... My brain injury was caused by WG.

Phil, I noticed Amikacin is on the list. I hope that doesn't affect you!

Thanks for posting the link, vdub.

I noticed too Amikacin was on the list Sangye. I should be off of it by early June hopefully.

The drug companies have made Cellcept hard to obtain in the UK because it was being sold on to foreign markets at a big profit. It is still available, but they make the pharmacist jump through hoops first to prove that their patient has a valid prescription.
