Estratest Generic On Indefinite Back Order! (Page 5) (Top voted first)

Could this mean it may no longer be produced? I had a complete hysterectomy in 2000 and nothing else has worked for me! HELP!

I just went on SS and none of the Prescription Drug programs authorized by SS will cover my prescription for Estratest or estrafied testosterone....I'm wondering if any of these substitutions people are using are effective...without insurance it is very expensive...$102 at Walmart.

The amount of methyl testosterone inn Estratest HS is 1.25 mgs. The problem is once again ignorant greedy pharmaceutical companies confusing anabolic steroid abuse with clear indication for a medication for postmenopausal women!

Estratest used to be made by Solvay. The FDA discontinued it. You can get
It generic form now. CVS, Walgreens and Target uses a a pharmaceutical company called Amneal that produces estratest. It doesn't work for me. I've been taking Estratest since 1993 when it was made by Solvay. When they discontinued it Target used a pharmaceutical company Interpharm in 2010 and it worked great, then the changed to Amneal and it doesn't work. I asked Target for a printout of estratest that I received since 2009 and everything was printed out except the manufacture. The pharmacist had to write it in. When I looked at it, he had
Amneal for 3/2010 & I said Aneal did not fill this in 2010 and I showed him the bottle. Anneal is Target using now ,but not in 2010. I find very strange that Target does not
disclose the manufacture on their printout at the
time they fill out their prescription. I'm still researching
manufactures. I was thinking of calling the FDA and asking them who dispenses the generic form of estratest since they took it off the market

Hi Diane,
Since Methyltestosterone is now a DEA Class III controlled substance, I don't think that foreign medical providers can export it too the United States. Let us know if you are able to get your prescription from canadageneric.

Hi sha sha. You certainly should not be feeling so awful. I am not an expert. But you can google the description, color, and strength of your pill. I hope others can help you out with this. This is a far fetch. But maybe it is an expired "batch"??? In my case, if the strength is too strong I eat like a horse and get hyper.. So taking a lighter dose levels me out. I was only crying when I wasn't on anything! Best of luck. Hugs.

Just today, my WalMart Pharmacist could only fill 7 pills. Then my PCP nurse called and told me the Estratest manufacturer had put the drug on "quarantine". We don't know what that means? Nurse suggested I try something else. There IS nothing else, is there? This is really happening here in Little Rock, Arkansas. What is going on????

Jenna #1, I'm not at all surprised that you, in your very own words, "couldn't personally find any information claiming that it's no longer unavailable." If it ever was, and still is, veritably, "no longer unavailable", then that would simply mean that it IS presently available, and was possibly always so since its first becoming available.

Any allegations of unavailability of course raises -- and begs -- the question: Was it ever actually unavailable everywhere, and if so, for what substantive reason[s]? It may simply be a case of demand outstripping supply in some sectors. As with myriad products of all types on the market, many folk may be unnecessarily purchasing them causing a shortage for those folk genuinely in need of them!

By informing everyone who desperately wants and/or needs Estratest, where it can be obtained, it can cause panic purcha$ing, not unlike a "run on the bank$!"

Colete, you are on both the money AND the math. Well done! Were I to simply say that I'm impressed with your acumen it'd be a gross understatement! May your pharmacist always have a plentiful supply of whatever you need, and at low co$t into the bargain. Being of the opposite gender Down Under here in OZ I don't need estratest but that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to its necessitous demand.

Given that it's long been touted as being the best medicine of all I reckon there's scant hope I'll ever wean myself off of laughter!

I don't know the entirety[or much at all really] of the FDA's rules but one rule that I think all major drug companies should have to adhere to is that when they introduce a new drug to the market then they should be compelled to ensure that the new drug's supply -- to its domestic demand at least -- remain stable and not decrease to anything even approaching a paucity whereby folk reliant on these "novel nostrums" are left hanging out to dry. It is just too easy for companies and governments to invent stories to explain away their ineptitude.

Also Colete, if you and several of your friends[not that you ever would, of course!] -- who didn't actually need[or even just want, for there is a clear distinction] the estratest for yourselves -- were to earnestly undertake a spate of pill-shopping for another friend who did want to hoard some, then she'd soon have enough to tide her over till the cows came ho_me'taphorically!

I do hope Mike never gets taken in by any sharp sneaky snake-oil salesmen who may choose to pass his way sometime when they've nothing better to do than to prey on the totally unsuspecting. I reckon some of 'em are so low that they could teach Chubby Checker to do the limbo under a snake's belly whilst he was wearing a ten gallon hat and twelve inch platforms! Did I neglect to mention back there a spell that Chubbs was meant to be riding a penny-farthing bike backwards as well... just to help flesh-out the narrative a tad? We live in hope! :o)

The very first paragraph in #19 exemplifies a prime example of a pot's calling the kettle black, in spades, when #19 then, in #19's final para says that #17 hasn't contributed anything positive. It all adds up!

It is not difficult to have a "run" on anything. All that's required is for enough folk to require whatever is sought after and enough persons willing to participate[for their own reason$] in effecting its supply. If whatever's sought after is not only already in short supply but is known -- or even just suspected to be by enough persons wanting it -- to be in short supply, then its being "run-on" will very soon acquire a solid track record of so being time and again.

I do agree with Mike when he says that "hording"[sic] would be a bit of a problem but I can assure him that "hoarding" is a "whole heap"[pun intended] easier to "gather"[pun again]! But alas, the hordes are legend for their wont of hoarding hoards unnecessarily. Perhaps they'd do everyone -- including themselves -- a much greater favour in just taking stock of that which they do_gmatize. :o)

Drug stores -- not unlike many other businesses -- do not always willingly and veritably divulge exactly what stocks they do have in hand or what they even anticipate to have in stock by any prescribed future date. They have this nasty habit of just telling the customer what they think the customer might want to hear. The average Joe would be very surprised to know exactly that which prevails -- inter alia -- within the stocking of a drug store.

Doctors [per the auspices of the U.S. Public Health Service] in the USA[and elsewhere] are on record as having done many needless and entirely unethical things with their patients. Have a look at "The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment" for but one example about what persons who purported to be doctors infamously did at that time, and they did it non-stop for 40 years! Another prime example of very suspect doctors needing to be continually kept under a watchful eye is the highly risible yet simultaneously sad and sorry situation surrounding Dr Atul Gawande's expose of many surgeons' hypocrisy with his: *Atul Gawande's "Checklist" For Surgery Success*. It was an entirely different kettle of fish when those particular surgeons were asked if they wanted Gawande's "checklist" used on them if they themselves were to go "under the knife" as a patient and not just be the person wielding the knife as per usual! These hypocrites soon changed their tune! How touching! It still has me in stitches[metaphorically, that is :o)], but suture self..err..suit y'self!

Yet another example where many doctors didn't have a clue what they were doing and were rightly exposed to their public writ large was "The Rosenhan Experiment".

Doctors and Druggists are only human and therefore not infallible. Apart from the giving of life and abiding by a duty of care towards our fellow man, the very next greatest gift that we can give each other is to challenge each other's ideas, but never "ad hominem". Just as Jack Nicholson said to Tom Cruise, in, 'A Few Good Men': "You[some folk] can't handle the truth!" Now ain't that the truth? Let it be told that some[many?] folk can only get by on a daily dose of being told that -- and only that -- which they want to hear. Otherwise, they can at times tend to be deaf as a post_er! :o)
