Percriptions

Luvsmyfam · ‎11-26-2019

I went to my local pharmacy today to renew a blood pressure medication.i was told they are having a hard time getting this pill in due to covid.never thought percriptions would be a problem.script name is larsartin. im sure my spelling is way off on this drug.has anyone else had this problem with scripts?

Yes, there is a problem with prescription Lasartan. United Health prescription warehouse was out of stock but never advised me. I got suspicious after a week of not receiving....called warehouse again.......got the scoop and told to get it at a local drug store.

Had to call doctor to phone in permission to fill

But drug store didn't have it either - after 4 days DS delivered 90 day supply.

No idea what's going on - but I'm set for 3 months.

@Luvsmyfam Losartan is prescribed very often in many different doses and yes, I have had problems occasionally with shortages, but usually the shortage is for a few days. None recently although I do know my pharmacy has marked this drug as a FAST MOVER and tries to fill scripts as early as insurance will pay rather than waiting until I run out.

Losartan was one of the many meds on the tainted recall list more than a year ago.

My husband and I take Losartan; our meds are filled thru the VA system. My husband received his 90 supply as usual, while I was only receiving a 30 day supply of this medication at a time. In February I finally received a 90 day supply; first time in more than a year.

This is one of the things I worry about. What if China cuts us off? I wish the government would try to get more pharm manufacturing going here!

I'm on the lowest dose of Losartan, auto refill every 90 days, haven't had a problem getting it. I'm supposed to be coming off if it soon. Hope so anyway.

@RedTop can you tell me what you mean by tainted recall list?is this a risky drug taking long term?hopefully I will be able to get this by the end of the week.my dosage is 100 milligrams and I get a 3 month refill.thankyou for responding!

I got my 90 day supply of Losartan last week from CVS. It was one of those automated refills, but there was no delay.

I've had problems w/BP meds. In 2020 they were having problems getting Losartan, so doc put me on a different one, now that one is not available & now I'm on a 3rd one.
