Unable To Fill Prescription For Hydromorphone (Top voted first)

Updated

I live outside of Birmingham, AL. and have been written a script for 16mg Hydromorphone capsules by my (LAST VISIT) Pain Management Doc. I'm switching to new doc closer to home, but in the meantime I’m sitting here with a handful of IR’s and a Piece of Paper! HELP!... Are the capsules even sold in the US?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Dan! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having.

Yes, they are available here, but it may be hard to find a pharmacy that has them, some have severely cut down how much of these types of medications that they keep in stock.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You may need to try going to various pharmacies to see if anyone has them.

This is not a reply but an update. As of February 5th no pharmacies in the Jacksonville NC has this medication. States backorder since October. There has to be another manufacturer that a pharmacy can go to. This has been on backorder for a long time! Any ideas??

I am in Jacksonville NC and as of 2/23/2024 no pharmacies in my area even have 2 mg and I even tried my home delivery company itself and they do not have them either and no one can tell me if there's a manufacturing issue!
