Is there a shortage in the USA

SINEMET is made by a US Based pharmaceutical company and I live in British Columbia, Canada. I am currently taking Sinemet CR and have not heard of a shortage.....nothing mentioned by my neurologist who I saw two days ago.

Hi BlueJeans. I live in SA, but am fortunate enough mot to need any further medication. That doesn't help you! I would like to be able to help you but it would be difficult on this forum. Would you please contact me at johnpepper@telkomsa.net

Hi John, this is Heather :) Hope your tour was successful! I'm still not taking any L-DOPA, still on the Selegeline. I was asking about the Sinemet CR for the other PWP's who are being given substitutes, we've heard it won't be available for 18 months +-
