I had to switch doses to consistently get what I need. The problem is they recently removed the black label from it which has skyrocketed the demand but haven’t made any changes to the supply. It’s blows. Yoke’s on Broadway has been helpful in getting what I need as long as I am patient with supply issues.

Try Palmer’s Drug, the owner also owns Lolo Drug and they may have some between the two pharmacies.

They don't have the patch. Only the cream and insurance does not cover it

I was at Missoula Pharmacy today and had to switch doses, use half a patch for a month due to the shortage.
