New FDA Regulation on Testosterone Oil

[kings joker]

Not even that way, not anymore. I even had my Endo write down the NDC with the "10mL vial" bit, and the pharmacy shot it down (writing it specifically for a "10mL vial"/NDC is supposed to have bypassed the "30 day supply" rule also... apparently doesn't anymore, either). They made me stand there an hour while they called this person and that, even the regional director. Overkill, and no, "can't do it". Totally unreasonable, now a major inconvenience (it's literally an all-day affair to drop off and pick up), and as it stands right now a compromise of my care to cap it off. I shouldn't have to go without doses or be otherwise short-changed, and I really am. It's entirely wrong.

The icing will be if he refuses to up the dose "on paper" to make up for that shortage. Final straw, really.

What state do you live in?

Unfortunately, California... Riverside county.

The 30 day rule for controlled drugs is NOT a Federal rule, it is a State rule. Some states allow 90 day prescriptions for some controlled drugs and others limit to 30 days for all controlled drugs. It just depends on your local laws and your health insurance.

I am a retired Pharmacist and I live in Florida. In recent years Florida had a serious problem with out of state people coming to Florida for other controlled drugs. Local laws were tightened up without Federal intervention to get some reasonable changes to our dispensing laws. Also many insurance carriers have limited their coverage.

Testosterone is subject to many types of regulations because of abuse with locker room sales and the adverse side effects such as cardiac problems and aggressive behavior which sometimes becomes a criminal issue.
