My son has been prescribed a course of Coartem for Babs. Our local CVS has said that it's not available from their distributor and they weren't able to find a way to order it.

I see from past posts that people are taking it and would love to know which pharmacies seem to be able to get it.

Any info is appreciated...

My Rite Aid had to order it from the drug manufacturer.

Duane Reade, but I think that chain is local to the NY area. My Rite Aid store said they couldn't get it (and didn't bother to tell me for 4 days).

I was able to get Riamet from CanadaDrugs.com

Hope this helps!

Thanks, everyone.
Our CVS ordered it and it was drop-shipped from the manufacturer--got it the next day. Good work on their part.
