In reply to Emsam 12 mg. patches no longer being made?, posted by lunksmoo on September 5, 2009, at 11:53:08
GOOD NEWS! I JUST CALLED 866-367-2678 CUSTOMER SERVICE (ON THE EMSAM.COM SITE) AND THEY SAID THAT EMSAM 12 MG IS **NOT** BEING DISCONTINUED, BUT THAT ONLY THE NDC# HAS CHANGED FROM BRISTOL MEYERS TO DEY. EMSAM 12 MG WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE. I TOLD HER THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT DISSEMINATED PROPERLY SINCE SOME PHARMACISTS ARE TELLING DOCTORS THAT EMSAM 12 MG IS DISCONTINUED, WHICH IS NOT TRUE, SINCE ONLY THE NDC# HAS CHANGED. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL IN GETTING THE MEDICATION/DOSAGE YOU NEED!
> I just went to my pharmacy after putting in an online order for the 12 mg. patches of Emsam. This morning the pharmacist told me they are no longer making the 12 mg. patch, and they were going to call my doctor. So now what am I going to do, use 2 - 6 mg. patches a day? 6 mg. patches were $120/month copay on my insurance a few months ago, so is it going to cost me $240 a month now? The 12 mg. patches were a $134 copay. Great.
