BLOG: AzaSite available again

The long AzaSite saga has taken another turn, this one for the better. I spent quite a bit of time last week on the phone with the VP of Provider Relations for Akorn, who shared that AzaSite has been produced, released and distributed nationally since Feb. 1. You can imagine my surprise because every prescription I’ve written up until March 1 has come back with a note: “Not available.” We did learn of a new app for your smartphone, GoodRx, that will show cost and availability for medicines at local pharmacies. Sure enough, AzaSite is here! Ah well, be that as it may, we have our drop back and can now return to business as usual. Once more we have the perfect tool in our kit to deal with meibomian gland dysfunction and can resume prescribing it for our thus-afflicted patients.
