If you or your child is on the Ibuprofen therapy do you have any problems getting the ibuprofen? Austin takes Motrin Tab 600 mg twice daily. So a total of 1200 mg daily. His insurance pays for it because it is a prescription.
This is the first time I had to deal with this problem. I didn't think the Motrin was that hard to get so when Austin ran out this morning I called to get a refill.
The pharmacist was kind of snotty. And said that he can't give him generic cause the doctor ordered name brand only. I said yes thats right. Then he gave me this spill on how expensive name brand is and generic is the same as the name brand. And I told him what the doctor told me. He just smirked about it.
The pharmacy told me he could not get it in until monday. And he would have to order a quanity of 500 and something about having to write something off etc. etc. I dont really care just order it. I thought to myself. He also said something about if he knew if people would be on it for a long time it wouldn't matter as much. I said "well Austin will be on it for at least the next 6 years if not more." DUH!!!!!!!!!!!
I called the CF clinic. The nurse said someone called earlier in the week with this problem and the doc told them to go ahead and use generic until the pharmacy gets it in. Because it is beter than taking them off and putting them back on. She also told me about the adek situtation. Switching to aquadek. That was another thing. I asked the pharmacists about that last month when i got Austins refill on that and he said he didn't know anything about that.
So i am going to the store to get some. I called the pharmacy and they said they would have it on monday. He also told me that he called all of the pharmacies around in the two cities beside us and no one has it.
i would switch pharmacies but other than this I have never had any problems with dealing with them. So I will see what else happens.
