Injectable MTX

Are any of you able to get any injectable MTX? I had a 9 month supply that is just now running out and I took my new script to the pharmacy and they said it wasn't available at all anymore. I have tried pills in the past but could never get above 10mg without terrible stomach trouble. As it is, I can get to 17.5 mg with the injectable type. Have any of you had any luck getting it from anywhere? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Heidi,

Don't give up on the injectable MTX. I refused to go back to oral and have lucked out with a supply of MTX at my local grocery store pharmacy (Safeway). I can't get the correct size vials but the cost isn't all that much, I have to pay out of pocket.

Call you rhemy and ask if they know of any local pharmacies that can get it. Usually it depends on what supplier they use. Just be a pest. I called the supplier, pharmacies and finally my rhemy clued me in of where to go. You might even check pharmacies online.

Good luck,
Jen
