Unavailable/Discontinued Medication

Medications may be commercially unavailable for a variety of reasons, the most common being: Back-oredered due to a manufacturing problem, discontinued due to decreased usage or declining manufacturer profits, which may be related to the introduction of a newer drug. Sometimes only certain does and dosage forms of a particular drug, or specific combinations are discontinued. We can also compound medications that are free of problem-causing additives such as sugar, alcohol, preservatives, dyes, and gluten.
