The issue of PPO dated 3/1/08 makes reference to Tenormin Inj. being discontinued by Astra Zeneca, but says "Generic versions are still available." I have looking in McKesson and they do not have any generics listed. Do any of you purchase generic Tenormin from another wholesaler or outside source?
Thanks!

I had the same question. In all the years I've been buying, I've never seen generic Tenormin IV.

Thanks for your feedback. I have to think they are the only ones out there. I've tried searches on-line but can only find the tablets generically.

I went back to do some digging, and I found a March 5 news release from ASHP that states that Tenormin(R) was discontinued by AstraZeneca, and that there are no generic products available.

The news release I had was dated February 28. I apologize if this caused and inconvenience.

Thanks so much for "digging". It's too bad that there are no generics available, but it didn't cause any trouble.
Thanks!
