This is for Bedford...

My rep said she thought it would be next week, but they weren't 100% sure. She also mentioned that they're going this route because a lot of times with a shortage, if they release it straight to the wholesalers, secondary market is able to buy out the stock before hospitals even realize its available.

I just sent off a dropship order to Cardinal for Bedford and APP; I figured I may as well cover all the bases while I was at it. I sure hope this works! Are you subbing oral for IV when you can?

We're not out yet, I'm assuming they'll sub PO for IV when possible if we run out before the new product arrives....

Fingers crossed that we don't have to cross that bridge!!

I recently received a phone call from my Bedford rep telling me that the Levothyroxine 200mcg vials are coming back out but that they will not be stocking them at the wholesalers immediately. He placed an order for me and told me I would have my product by Friday. It is great to have such a wonderful rep, he keeps me informed and helps me obtain product.

I noticed a few buyers attempted to get Levothyroxine through APP - APP has not had the product since January 2007 - as of now, Bedford is the only manufacturer

My Bedford rep was just here this morning and told me that I can order a dropship from the company. They are not stocking at Amerisource etc. until they have plenty on hand. I too have a very good rep.
