Clb75 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Has anyone had trouble getting florinef? I tried to pick it up today and was told there’s a shortage. Only two manufacturers make it, one is temporarily unavailable and the other is on back order. I’m a little concerned to hear that and was wondering if others had run into this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenna Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, my son has been told the same thing. He has enough to last him another 2 months, but then will have a huge problem on his hands. What are others doing about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clb75 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I had trouble getting it last month too. I would be in much worse shape without it. I haven’t heard anything about the shortage or when it will be over with. I hope your son will find it somewhere. I had to keep calling different pharmacies until I found one that could fill it.

CarolS Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Liquorice root powder has similar actions to Florinef. I know it's not an ideal solution and it may not work for everyone, but if times got really desperate it would be worth a try. Unlike Florinef, liquorice is easy to stop taking. No tapering off needed. It's worked really well for my daughter. She's been on it for about 9 months now as we've been trying to avoid Florinef if we could.

Guest ANCY Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I also have run into this but was able to find a pharmacy that had some. I usually get a 3 month fill but Was only able to get 1 month. My cardio is starting me on Northera and we are hoping to cut down or stop the Florinef.

Lily Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Interesting. I called my pharmacy to ask about this, and they haven't heard about a Florinef shortage. Maybe it is regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
