My mail order provider, CVS/Caremark, has been out of FIASP vials for several months. I’m running out of my supply and would rather not pay more to try to find it locally. Supposedly it’s supposed to be available this month (February). Has anyone been able to get FIASP from one of their mail order providers recently?

Thanks!

I was able to get vials of fiasp from caremark mail order at the very beginning of February. They told me to either call and ask if it was in or just make a refill request the first week of February. I refused to just do a refill request because last time they just got the doctor to send them a rx for novolog on their own.

Do they have the pens available? That might be a good option if you can have your hcp prescribe them instead

As an update, they apparently have filled my prescription today (2/26/25) and it should arrive in a few days. Hopefully the “shortages” are resolved everywhere…

I had the same problem with CVS. After a month of frustration, I’m waiting, they suggested to me that I switch to another local pharmacy that uses a different distributor. Since then, I have had no problems.
