Cyclosporine Shortage?

I take 125mg cyclosporine twice a day. I usually get the generic version and order it in three month supplies from Medco. Lately I have only been able to get the brand name. Medco was able to supply the 100s that I need, but are unable to fill the 25s.

I have a similar story from Walgreens. They have to call several stores just to get me two weeks worth of the 25mg size.

Is anyone having similar problems or know anything about a shortage?

Are you still having that problem?

I get mine in Amarillo, but have only had a problem the first time or two. They would give me a week's worth, then I'd have to go back in to get the rest. Now I've got a standing order for it, so they call me to say it's in about a week before I need more.

I had no problem getting the mail order refill for the 100s about two or three weeks ago. I have been able to eliminate the 25s for now. So I don't know if that is still a problem.
