Not if they don't have any in stock. That's the problem. littlemissmartypants May 2022 #3

That is a list of medications and how to prepare them. It has nothing to do with feeding babies. WhiskeyGrinder May 2022 #7

Being a compounding pharmacy doesn't mean providing fewer goods or products but the addition of compounding services to the general pharmacy service.

Because of the manufacturer shutdown due to contaminated equipment, there isn't an abundant supply.

Also, the trade deal made with Canada by the former guy curtailed imports of the formula from there.

I'm sure there are other reasons. I just can't think of anything else right now. ❤
