This afternoon I heard from a comapny called Med Search. Kelley (their rep) informed me that it is avail. in 17gm barcoded packages for $2.76/pkg. My clinical pharmacist told me to go ahead and order it since we will need bar coded packaging very soon. The phone number for this company is 888-782-8791.
We buy ours now from Atlantic Biologicals and have had good luck.. they come in the UD packs, so they're light protected, which is nice. Pricing is reasonable also.
