  • freshkote

    Has anyone managed to get Freshkote? I have a perscription for it, but have tried to pharmacies, both of which ordered it, and both of which couldn't get it the next day saying that the manufacturer is out of stock and hasn't set a date for when any more supplies will be available. Is this something that a compounding pharmacy could take care of and if so, would it be any compounding pharmacy or is there a special kind?

      FreshKote in pharmacies

      Hi Sparrow - sorry you are having trouble with your FreshKote Rx. The initial demand has been so high that many drug wholesalers are temporarily out of stock but this can change in a day or two. The 3 major drug wholesalers are Cardinal, McKesson & AmeriSource Bergen; all of which now stock FreshKote. The only problem might be that your pharmacy uses one of the few remaining independent drug wholesalers that FOCUS Labs has not had time to stock.....if so, ask your pharmacy to ask their wholesaler to stock.
      As for using a compounding pharmacy; this wouldn't work since they don't know the formulation and, technically, once a product is in general pharmacy distribution it is not legal for a compounding pharmacy to make.
      I would suggest you contact FOCUS Labs at 1-501-753-6006 and explain the problem. They know the pharma business and can give more specific distribution advice.

      Good luck,

      (ps: Leiter Rx is probably the best ophthalmic compounding pharmacy but they don't know the FreshKote formulation)
