Hi Wendy-Lee, My husband and I were told the same thing. The hospital said that it wouldn't be available in the liquid form except for in hospital pharmacies. We spoke to our pharmacist and he called on a friend of his and was able to get it and will continue to be able to get it from his contact at a hospital pharmacy or so he says. I looked at the exp. date and it is Jan. 01. It seems that once it is already mixed it lasts only 6 months. Perhaps the better way to go IS with the powder form. I know that with the Growth Hormone Ryan is taking it too comes in powder form and we have to activate it with a special liquid that comes with it. We have to do it a little differently. We must draw it up into the needle and then inject it into the powder. We must then roll the vial back and forth between our hands for a couple of minutes. This helps the formula to mix AND warm up before injecting it into my son's body. Having said that, I think to simply have to pop the bubble to mix the two ingredients for the solu-cortef sounds like a breeze to me. And the fact that it lasts for up to 4 years prior to popping just makes it that much more attractive. I'm for anything that makes life easier! Speaking of making life easier, has anyone tried the new "Inject ease" needle holder. We were given it through the study we are in, but it must be available for common use for diabetics, etc. The best way I can describe it is: imagine a pen casing. Remove the ink cartridge and put a loaded needle inside instead. Draw back the spring load and place gently but firmly against the child's skin. Push the release button and the needle goes quickly and smoothly into the childs skin. Push the plunger down and release the meds into your child's system all while never moving the "Inject ease" holder. Putting a slight bit of pressure on the holder against the skin tends to isolate the area and lessen the sensation of the puncture. To help lessen the pain even more, we simply apply a dab of the magic Emla numbing cream and my son barely flinches anymore. Hope this helps. Take care, Lynn
