Abbvie Canada has reversed the decision to discontinue VIBERZI

[Fay]

Trevor May I ask what area you are in please?  Province would be great.  I am in Alberta.

[Fay]

My pharmacist also received the fax about the 75 and 100 mg of Viberzi.  She is hoping to be able to refill my prescription but hadn’t tried yet!

[Trevor]

Sorry for the delay Fay. I’m located in South Eastern Ontario. Your pharmacist can check for order availability in 1/2 a minute online with 1-: of their suppliers they use.

I believe that the pharmacies that tried to order it and it posted as backorder were the ones that got the fax.

The pharmacy I got the fax which was not mine but in my town only had 1 patient in that pharmacy that took it. 
If you will, let me know how you make out with your pharmacist.

I checked at my Loblaws pharmacy in Toronto yesterday.  They still show it as backordered. Hope we all find a supply soon!

[Fay]

Thought I would post my update.  No luck at the Pharmacy on the weekend in Edmonton.  Still showing back ordered despite the positive fax.

[Trevor]

Spoke to Abbie in Montreal this morning with the customer relations person. She concurred that a fax was sent out last week and they were informed by meeting and e mail  just today to inform all inquiries that it’s official as of today.

still not concrete but it’s something. My pharmacist placed an order for it this afternoon yet it still said back ordered. He said he will let me know tomorrow if his request will be fulfilled.

If no satisfaction tomorrow I will spend a few hours on the phone hopefully speaking to someone about some concrete answers.

Happy to report that I just got word from my pharmacy here in Toronto that they have a 1 month suppy of 100mg available for me. Let's hope this trickle turns into a steady flow!

Imodium proved unreliable for me.

BUT I am so happy to report that my husband just picked up 60 100 mg Tablets of Viberzi in Edmonton at our Save On Pharmacy❣️

[Trevor]

That’s fabulous! Still nothing here in Ontario. I called and went up the ladder here today. I advise calling for a 180 day supply just for peace of mind if able. 
it’s so strange speaking with a Pharma co directly! There’s nobody that can give you a straight answer! They don’t care about the patient with major diarrhea! They have already made their sale to the wholesalers. No compassion.

im on the Imodium train still and hope your good news brings more good news.

Best of wishes to everyone!

Such great news that the medication is starting to flow again from distributors to pharmacies. It was a great effort by all to let the pharmaceutical know that we all needed this medication to still be available in Canada.

Yes great news, I just call my pharmacy and they told me they will have my refills ready for Monday. I am so happy 😁, now let’s just hope they keep Viberzi coming to Canada for all of us. 🤞🤞🙏🙏

Looking in the windsor essex county area in Ontario for vibrezi. Anyone found it here?

[Annie Brohman]

I got some yesterday in Woodstock.

I am so happy that Abbvie decided to reverse their decision to start sending Viberzi back to Canada. Now let’s hope they keep the supply coming.

Definitely! I'll try and find the right individual at Abbvie Canada to send a thank you note.
