    My doc told me the same thing about a med I take, turns out she meant it wasn't covered by my insurance carrier anymore.

    I went to the doc this morning to find out about scopace. I told her what type of diving I do (tech) and she looked it up and gave me the green flag as long as im watching out for side effects,

    I've used the patch a few times in the last two years with great results. I just got a new script today for Scopolamine patch. CVS pharm called and said it's not available and shown as discontinued. Going to contact Novartis consumer relations and check this out tomorrow.

    Try ordering? drugsdepot.com Online since 1996.: Transderm-Scop 1.5Mg/72Hr Patches 1X4 Ea By Novartis / Consumer Health in PrestoMart
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    If it is out of production and this site has a supply, you may want to stock up. They have an 800-number to call and confirm they can ship: drugsdepot.com Online since 1996.: Transderm-Scop 1.5Mg/72Hr Patches 1X4 Ea By Novartis / Consumer Health in PrestoMart

    That CVS pharmacy is quite mistaken.

    Please see my post below.

    Novartis' Transderm Scōp has NOT been discontinued and there are no plans to discontinue it.

    There was a temporary disruption in supply which has been corrected for the moment, but could occur again in the future.

    Major distributors were resupplied late last week and regional distributors are slated to be resupplied later this week.

    The only US pharmacy chain considered a major distributor is CVS, so they are your best bet.
