Re: Update on Mexiletine Availability

It's not looking good for us is it?!

Re: Update on Mexiletine Availability

I just got notice from my pharmacy that my prescription can't be filled until mid-march. I'm feeling a mite claustrophobic.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate this forum.

Re: Update on Mexiletine Availability

I, too, had spoken to a rep at Teva and they told me the same thing, that they have started manufacturing Mexilitine again, but that they're looking at the end of February (initially I was told the end of January). I spoke to my doctor's office and was told that my doctor found out that some people are starting to be able to get it in 150 and 200 mg, but you have to do a lot of leg work in calling various pharmacies to see if they have it or not. It appears that it is trickling out, here and there. All I can tell you is that this is really frustrating and frightening as well. I guess I'll be breaking out the old cane again, just to be on the safe side.
