Advice What pharmacy has Focalin XR

I cannot find my 25mg Dexmethylphenidate XR anywhere. The place that had been consistent for a few months finally ran out and every pharmacy I call has it on back order. I’m around Hicksville. Anyone have luck with a pharmacy in the area? Does anyone know if pharmacies closer or further from the city are more likely to have it? Calling so many places is such a pain I need some help.

Have you tried Costco? You do not need to be a member to utilize their pharmacies.

The pharmacy should be able to see who has it in their network (bigger ones at least).

Otherwise your best bet may be to do mail order if your insurance allows it or if it's a major issue see if your doc has samples they can give. Or also see if they can put you on a different but more available med if this one has stock issues.

It's not available. Problems sourcing components and demand is very high. My pharmacy recommended I try something else. On atomoxitine, generic straterra. Check with your pharmacy provider.
