Is anyone else having difficulty getting rifampin? My son's doctor changed the dosage such that he takes two lower strength (I guess that is available).

Yes, I had to wait 3 days for Rifampin. And it came in a zip-lock bag. It contains 60 capsules. The script says it comes from Michigan. I asked the pharmacist about the unusual packaging and she said that is the only company that had Rifampin available.
Also had to wait on hydro chloroquine (Plaquenil) but I expected that.
