JeRu Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 (edited) I was able to get my viberzi filled! and I was able to get three months' worth.🙌 Calling around paid off that I know of two pharmacies close to me that have stock.

danb Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 The Shoppers Drug Mart I usually get my Viberzi prescription filled at was unable to do so recently so I transferred my prescription to the outpatient pharmacy at one of the hospitals close to me. A day after I transferred my prescription to the hospital pharmacy I picked up my refill. I am impressed at both how easy it was to transfer my prescription and how fast they prepared my refill.

I'm a little surprised that Shoppers wouldn't order it for you. It's not like the hospital pharmacy has access to a different wholesaler. I presume Shoppers was unwilling to order it because they don't receive a lot of requests for it. Still, that strikes me poorly on that particular Shoppers.

JeRu Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 It may be the same issue I had with Shoppers Drug Mart. If the Viberzi came through the USA and had its US Viberzi ID number, they wouldn't put it under the Canadian Viberzi Drug Identification Number. Therefore my benefits would not cover the random US number. It seems to be a Shopper's rule. I finally had Loblaws fill the prescription from a shipment from Markham.

I got the impression that what they saw in their medication ordering system led them to believe that Viberzi was no longer available to them. But, thanks to the people in this forum, I knew that is not true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
