What this means

Does this mean my pharmacy is out of stock?

Not necessarily — a national shortage doesn't mean every pharmacy has run out. Some locations may still have stock, especially of a specific strength or pack size.

What should I do?

This product is usually given in a hospital or clinic, where the pharmacy team manages supply. If you're scheduled to receive it, ask your care team.
