REPLIVA

Anyone take Repliva?

I am curious if you have been informed the drug is no longer available..
I just started taking it a few months ago.. I wanted to transfer my RX and they told me it is no longer available. I checked back at the CVS where I had it filled and refilled and they told me they didn't hear that.. So I went to Walgreens they hadn't heard it either but called their distribution center while I stood there and they said it was  unavailable also.
I checked the Repliva site and they have nothing posted about it being discontinued presently although when I first started the drug.. I had seen a message there but it is gone now..

Ask your pharmacy.. I am going to ask my DR.. too.. I am confused

 I just heard this yesterday at my one year follow up appt with the surgeon.  His nurse knew but the doctor didn't even know.

Oh man!  I so did not need to hear this...  I just started on Repliva last month and it is the first iron supplement that hasn't constipated me almost as soon as the first pill**** my tongue!  My doc is going to be disappointed too as he wholeheartedly recommends this as the absolute best iron for us postops....
Ugh!

I found this on the manufacturer's website.  It says recalled, not discontinued...  But, it also says that they are not sure when it will be available again.....  Ugh!

I just read the same thing about Repliva being recalled (the pharmacy thought it was discontinued!).  I just started taking it a month ago. Just called the doctor, and they said there is another medication that will replace Repliva. Darn, I forgot the name of it. The doctor just called it in to my pharmacy today.
You should call your  physician right away.
Recalled because of "not complying with current Good Manufacturing Practice" - whatever that is.
