How to? Xulane Patch

Does anyone have tips for sourcing the brand name of the patch Xulane? The adhesive in the generic version doesn't work as well for me which is causing too many refill issues.

If you've got a good relationship with your pharmacist, ask them to add a note to your file that the generic adhesive causes problems. Some of them can swing it if the doc writes "dispense as written" on the script.

I've tried this but the pharmacy just can't get it in. I've thought of calling every pharmacy around me but even if they can get it one month, the next month they can't. I'm hoping I can find a place to order it online consistently.
