yeah, my pharmacist explained to me that its the "raw ingredients" that go into making aztreonam and not the drug itself that is not available. if they had the product to manufacture the drug, it would be available. is it just me, or is this kinda scary? i'm all for buying and selling outside the U.S. if its good for commerce, but if something like this can deplete a life-saving antibiotic for MONTHS, where is the national security? i know we get many many ingredients for our drugs overseas and across our borders using non-native plants, etc., but still makes me a little nervous... but i digress.
i can't believe its been on backorder since november... wasn't swine flu just found in mexico a couple months ago? what was the hold-up prior to that?
