It makes me suspect the drug companies are taking their orders from gov officials because it does defy logic to stop production of these meds. Very scary, indeed.What a world we live in! Does the surgeon know ahead of time if his patient is more likely to have a *severe* rejection to their organ?
I can only speak for my ex. He had no idea the drug was out of production. He called all over the place & found one vial somewhere that had to be shipped in. Now, he has to treat the kids who reject with large doses of steroid. He had no warning or notice ahead of time.
I went to our OR pharmacy to get drugs for a liver transplant that I was doing one day (I give anesthesia). One of the drugs, called THAM, was not available. To make a long story short, it’s a drug we use in highly specialized & critical surgeries. I was told it’s on “national backorder” because the pharm company is limiting it’s production. Hmmmmm
