Further update from the listserv today.From Barbara, customer service at Pharmacia:

 

I checked this out. The drop-ship option which was available until end of
week is over because all backorders have been filled for cortef tablets so
pharmacies can get drug from wholesalers within 24 hours, obviating the need
for patient drop shipments as the time lines are the same.  Thus, patients
should call their pharmacy and pharmacists order the drug and dispense next
day. This is viewed to be a safer option that continuing drop shippments as
the pharmacist has the original script and can be sure that the patient is
getting dosage form that was most recently prescribed.
