trouble getting prilosec?

I agree with the others....either find a mail order pharmacy (Walgreens has a special CF one in addition to the CF services pharmacy) to send it to you once a month, OR get your doc to write the script for the solutab. My daughter is older than Hazel and is able to let it dissolve in her mouth, but when she is a pain about it, I dissolve it in water and shoot it through her feeding tube.

ALSO, when we started prevacid, my dd had the capsules that opened like the enzymes and I put it on applesauce the same as the enzymes. You might ask about that as well.

You might not want to take Rite Aid's word for it and just check around. I filled a prilosec liquid rx for my son a couple months ago at our local grocery store (Safeway). He's not used prevacid suspension - just the solutabs, which he's been using since about age 3 straight from the package no problem.

Ditto to folione - Rite Aide makes it sound like it's extremely rare to do compounding??? You might want to just call around to your local pharmacies and see who does it in your town - unless you live in a very small town I would think there'd be a few "real" pharmacists out there. My son takes the Prevacid Solutabs now, but he's been on numerous compounded meds over the years and I've never had trouble finding a pharmacy to do them. My local Kroger's (grocery store) even does it.

Thanks guys! CVS says they can do it, no problem. I don't know why Rite Aid made it seem so hard. They said it had to be a special compounding pharmacy. We are currently using the solutabs dissolved in water, but it is so gritty and doesn't fully dissolve, so they told me not to put it through the g-tube. It would just be easier to have the suspension.

A rant about Rite Aid, as a side note...
They have messed up quite a few times in the past year or so, its a good thing I double check them.

They have given me zyrtec instead of zantac, labelled a script to give 5 tsp/day instead of 5ml/day, and today gave me azithromycin instead of Erythromycin (for reflux and slow motility). It really ticks me off, these are Rx's written for small children, who knows what would happen if I had given 5 times the dose of a med...
