ok i am not sure if i missed this one, but i found out today that hospira is no longer going to be making ephedrine inj.
so i went to the two wholesalers we use, to get a little extra, and they had NONE, so if anyone out there can get their hands on some you better do it.
i was told that sandoz may have some in a few weeks.
all brands and sizes we out at the two wholesalers i use and sandoz gave me the cold shoulder as far as helping out with any emergency supply.
it just keeps getting better.
GOOD LUCK GANG

On January 19, 2010 we notified you that we were unable to continue to supply Ephedrine Sulfate Injection, USP (NDC #0409-3073-31) to the market place.
We understand that many customers are having a difficult time obtaining this product in the marketplace. We have worked with our supply partners and the FDA and have made the commitment to continue to supply Ephedrine Sulfate Injection, USP through 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the current market environment will be evaluated and a determination will be made if there remains a need for Hospira to continue to license and manufacture this product.
The next projected delivery is mid-March 2010 and we will be delivering product into the wholesale chain as we know this is your preferred method for accessing this controlled drug.
Keep in mind that supply may remain tight as we re-ramp up production.
We apologize in advance for this inconvenience.
Thank you for your support of the Hospira Injectable Portfolio.
I was able to get a drop shipment through Cardinal from Akorn (50mg/ml 10x1ml amps); they do have a $75.00 minimum and are projecting 3-5 business days for receipt of product. I hope to see mine by mid-week.
