AQUAadeks Shortage

DS started Aqua Adeks drops this past summer. He actually didn't mind the nasty flavor/smell and didn't have issues with niacin flush. I liked how it didn't stain his teeth that nasty brownish color that the regular adeks did. Then the pharmacy was unable to get them after a couple of months, so we went back to ordering adeks from the CF Services pharmacy and I also have some CFSource chewables I got from the clinic last spring to hold us over 'til we can get the aquaadeks again.

Our pharmacist checked on getting the aqua adeks again and his supplier said they were reformulating them, wasn't just the niacin issue. She did some more checking and said that it's unclear now if they're actually reformulating them or if they're just going to discontinue making them.. Don't know if that means they're going back to the drawing board or what. Meanwhile, the pharmacist checked some other sites for similar products and said other brands are back ordered or unavailable.

Meanwhile, I've ordered up some more chewables from CFSource, but recently read a press release, which indicated they were bought up by another company...

Just curious if other people are having problems obtaining vitamins.

I am on AquADEKs. I get them from Wal-Mart Pharmacy. At first they had to call their suppler and I had to wait a month to get them but now I don't have a problem. My doctor told me they are going to be discontinuing ADEKs because they don't have enough vitamins in them for CFs. I fist got my perscription in October and they didn't get them in until November but now all I have to do is when I get low they will order them and have them the next day. I personally think they are so much better than the others.

We have used SourceCF abdek vitamin drops with DS up until a day or two ago. He had no problem taking these but when given the AquADEKs, he just spits it out. I think we might end up going back to the SourceCF vitamins.

I recommend the SourceCF vitamins. I switched to those back in August when AquADEKS was in short supply. I had called the customer service dept. about getting AquADEKS, and got some really snotty responses. They were rude and not at all helpful, so I took my business elsewhere. I'm really happy with SourceCF and their ABDEKS softgels. Now that I'm on tobra for the eFlow, I get my vitamins for free, so that's even better!
