I tried to pick up my son's prescription of clarithromycin ER tonight only to be told that it has been pulled off the market. The pharmacist I need to talk to will not be back in until Monday. Anybody know anything.

Biaxin XL is still available (but my pharmacy doesn't have any tonight [Frown] ).

Weird! I haven't heard anything about this... couldn't find anything on Google either.

Anybody else got a clue?

I've been waiting since 10/5 to get mine refilled. Keep saying it will be in tonight, etc. Haven't been back in a few days so I haven't heard it was pulled. I'll check tomorrow. Thanks for the update.

generic was taken off market due to discrepancies between lots......... quality control issue according to my pharmacist [Frown]

Do you know when it was allegedly taken off that market? Cave76 might be right and you should check another pharmacy. I just got mine refilled a couple weeks ago without a problem but maybe when I get a refill in a couple weeks it will be?

This stuff never gets any easier!
