The good news is they are increasing their production capabilities.

So this is a shorter term problem.
There are daily injections of the same medication available. The half strength pens are available, so you have to do 2 injections a week. And there are pills available.

So we aren't left in a lurch yet.
Good luck.

Check with your insurance before getting two pens and doing two injections per week. I take 2mg per week and the pharmacy filled the prescription with two 1 mg pens. Next month I found out that my insurance considered it a two month supply. They only pay for one pen a month no matter what the dosage is.
