the manufacturer sent some paper copies few weeks ago regarding the manufacturing problem, and suggested the vial as an alternative with the procedure to follow.

thanks Ray for the info, is the pre-filled syringe coming back later on the year?

I got some info by post on Monday..appears to be a manufacturing glitch, and PFS should be available again sometime in September. I was also told to remove the PI leaflet from the vial, and to use an attachment from the letter I received for PI. Not sure why, as a few years ago, the vial was the only available presentation anyway...probably worth checking though.

Fleeg.

bloody depo-provera is always going out of stock with the pfs. 3rd time now in the past 2 years!

you think that they would have sorted out the problems by now instead of repeatedly having to fall back on the vials...

mind you, aren't pharmacia a subsidiary of pfizer - and subject to the daft 'quota' system?
