Thanks, everyone, for the tips. I'll try them out. It just blows my mind that something as simple as a multivitamin is so hard to get...

I just switched from ADEKs to SourceCF softgels. I heard that ADEKs were being discontinued, though I don't know where I heard it or how much truth there is in that. I switched when my pharmacy said they didn't have them in stock and didn't know when they'd be getting them in (CF Services pharmacy, btw). My advice would be to get a prescription for the SourceCF vitamins, which by the way, my insurance paid for (whereas I had to pay out of pocket for the ADEKs).</end quote></div>

Yeah, my nutritionist told me she had been to a conference a few weeks ago and heard first hand they were being discontinued in favor of the AquADEK softgels, which I have to take now. I'm kind of disappointed though because I preferred the regular chewable ADEK vitamins. So I guess if your pharmacy doesn't have any left over in stock or the CF Pharmacies have already sold all of their original supply, it's only the softgels left.

As for the price, I know they are expensive and since I get CREON enzymes, my clinic supplies me with the vitamins for free because my insurance doesn't cover them. You guys could ask if your clinic does something similar.

yeah, I've had to switch the place I get them from like 3 times. I get ADEKs from my hospital pharmacy and it is covered by my insurance (even though at first they said they were NOT going to pay for them).
Sorry, but I don't know where you can get them.
Maybe try a Canadian website? cheaper drugs there?
