Zomig Nasal Discontinued

Got your attention?
Good. Sure got mine.
Just talked to Roxy......her pharmacy (Wallgreen's) said the item has been discontinued. (Can you hear the screamed "WHAT???!!!" echoing out from southern La?) Took over two weeks to get my order filled, pharmacist had no idea why.
Product discontinued.
True, but not true.
A quick call to Astra Zeneca, and......
Zomig nasal is DEFINITELY still in production. The only thing that's changed is the product ID number. The old number (whatever that was) will show up as discontinued. If a pharmacy has problems filling your order, have them call Astra Zeneca for correct product codes.
Another near heart attack averted.

That happened last summer with Migranal and a bunch of people nearly murdered their pharmacists. Turns out, they'd changed part of the delivery system for the product, which changed the ID number. It was still being made...just not under the same ID.
You'd think they'd be able to pick that kind of stuff up before they tell unsuspecting customers that the product just plain doesn't exist anymore....
They did that to me once, and I knew it was still in existence...I about bit their heads off. I think it was over methergine - they were confusing it with Sansert.
People sometimes...

Thanks for the information Roxy and Randy. Very much appreciated. Even though I use the pills, this info should help a lot of people, you two are two of the best!

Hmmm new product ID eh? I wonder if that means that the zomig trials were successful in getting Zomig FDA labelled for CH. I'll have to make some calls and try and find out.

Somebody else's (your!!!) problem.
Astra Zeneca Hungary Ltd. don't want to launch Zomig Nasal in Hungary. Definitely our fu€king problem.
