That is OUTRAGEOUS! You should talk to the supervising pharmacist.

I remember when I first got penfills from Costco eight years ago they had to order it in. But that was the last time they were out. I had talked with the pharmacist and told him I would be refilling monthly and I’ve never had to wait again.
