Yes, but if the manufacturers weren’t so busy making it for cattle, maybe there would not be a shortage for humans? It’s also a terrible idea for a million other reasons. I know the whole pharmaceutical supply chain is screwed up. My dad was t able to get his cancer medication for months and months.

I saw a news story about it this morning and the doctor on the story said you can't find amoxicillin anywhere right now. Your best bet is to have the doctor write a scrip for a different antibiotic.

We found it this week at Brookville Pharmacy in Friendship Heights (5454 Wisconsin). Said they have plenty.

I filled one yesterday in South Arlington at Walgreens.

Preston's in Arlington is a compounding pharmacy and can make it for you.

But also, it doesn't *have* to be Amoxicillin. Ask your doctor for alternatives.

I had to get a cough medicine recently that was out everywhere but Costco. Don't forget them. They were terrific.

Our local Walgreens does have it and luckily the doctor sent in both an electronic copy to our local pharmacy and they gave me a written copy for if I had to go around to other pharmacies. So I could pick it up in 30 minutes so I'm hoping that it's actually ready and I feel so bad for parents having to scramble just to get antibiotics.

Have your doctor write the prescription flexibly so they can change.

We had to call about 10 local pharmacies to find it ~10 days ago, and the one that came through was a local neighborhood one.

We had the same last Saturday night, the CVS pharmacist was very nice when I asked her to write down what they have in stock so I could ask doctor for a different kind, was able to get doctor approval for switch then picked up on Sunday.

Apparently a local one has it but Im worried to get there and them be like JK not that one. We shall see...............

I heard this too weeks ago from a family in Arlington that drove to a Pittsburgh suburb to get their scrip filled. Good luck.

Apparently there is an antibiotic shortage and my kid needs Amox for Strep. Anyone been able to fill recently so I can call that Pharmacy instead of shooting in the dark?

Thanks!
