Imitrex Injections discontinued in Canada?

[Mum3115 5]

Just left the pharmacy, where the pharmacist indicated that Imitrex injections are discontinued in Canada? Does anyone know if that's in fact true?

If it is it would be because of cost issues to the national health plan.  Canadian online pharmacies still provide to US

I don't see any indication from the internet that that is true.  There were trex shortages in Canada earlier this year.

Thanks CHfather and Pebblesthecorgi - as it turns out, bad information from the pharmacist (probably due to the trex shortages earlier in the year as per CHfather).  We finally tracked some down! Thanks so much!

Good morning - CH sufferer here in London, Ontario and the pharmacist at Shoppers Drug Mart just looked up injectable Imitrex for me and similarly told me it was discontinued.  Where do I go next????  Any suggestions? Thanks so much,

Hi - I am very happy to hear that you have tracked some injectable Imitrex in Canada - the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist just told me it was discontinued this week London, Ontario.  Can you please tell me where you found it?  Thanks so much,
