8. Okay, but REGULAR pharmacies would all tell you that. They will not refer you to a compounding pharmacy

(given natural competition with national chain pharmacies) and some states do not license them. But for those who do--or who allow you to order from an out-of-state compounding pharmacy, it may be an option. Even if the medication is not available, that does not mean its generic components are not.

If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. I just wanted to offer you a possible solution.
