What are people using instead? s there an alternate Source? Vet meds perhaps? Please let me know where I can get help in obtaining bicillin injections or something similar. Orals don't work as well for me.....
Thanks

Have you tried Infuserve America in Florida? You can google them. I know of someone who was recently able to order Bicillin from there.

I was going to suggest them as well. Those folks that run\own it are super wonderful! Bless you- not something you'd want to have to go through. [Frown]

Robi,

Here is the FDA's info on the shortage (first link). It claims there is more coming soon, and on the letter from Pfizer, second link, it claims April 17, 2017 is the day it should arrive.

Removed 1st link. Tiny URL isn't working right now, but the link below has better info anyhow.
