Tamiflu Stortage

The FDA has announced another shortage of Tamiflu Oral Suspension, which is the preferred product

• for pediatric and adult patients who have difficulty swallowing capsules, or
• where lower doses are needed

Our pharmacists are able to compound this suspension when the commercially manufactured oral suspension is
not readily available, using FDA-approved instructions or other formulas from published studies.

Pharmaceutical companies often discontinue products for which there is limited demand.  This often occurs when a newer, and sometimes, more effective, medicine comes onto the market.  However, for some patients, new does not mean improved or more effective.  Certain patients respond better to the old, commercially unavailable medicine than to its newer version. 

When this happens, talk to your physician, and then talk to the pharmacists at Cornell Pharmacy.  If our compounding experts can obtain the medication in its chemical form, we will formulate your prescription to contain the same dose of medication found in the commercially unavailable product. 

During backorders or other shortages of commercially available medications, Cornell Pharmacy is able to provide alternatives so that your treatment regimens can continue uninterrupted.
