Is anyone out there having problems finding Bicillin. My LLMD gave me a persciption but no pharmacies carry it or are able to get it except the hospital ones. They won;t give it out unless you are a patient of a hospital. So how are all you out there getting your Bicillin LA shots????

I had the same problem a few months back. I think that you might be able to get it as Bicillin CR

Hope this helps

If your pharmacists will contact the manufacuturer and tell them it is for lyme disease, they will release some from their emergency supply, or so I have read here.

Foggy,

I sent you a private mail with lots of details because I've been going through this recently.

But lately I've found that the Bicillin-LA 2.4 million units is far more available. My Rx is for 1.2 million units - the dosage that is hardest to find.

Had I known, I would have asked LLMD to write the Rx for 2.4 million units and injected half the syringe.
