Called about 25 pharmacies and can’t find oxycodone 20 mg in Michigan. Any advice?
My doctor increased my prescription to oxycodone 20 mg four times a day, but I can’t find a pharmacy that can fill it. I’ve called around 25 pharmacies, and they either don’t have it or say it’s backordered.
One pharmacist told me something about a state or regional limit and pharmacies already having their available “spots” taken by existing patients. I might have misunderstood what they meant, so I’m wondering if anyone knows what that actually refers to.
Has anyone in Michigan dealt with this recently? Were you able to have your regular pharmacy order it, or did your doctor have to rewrite the prescription for a different available strength?
I’m frustrated and exhausted from calling everywhere. Any advice on navigating this through my doctor and a licensed pharmacy would be appreciated.
