Laura KHi Sandra,
I just got some 5 mg tablets from Merck-Medco, and our local pharmacies have it here in Alabama now. If your insurance coverage will allow you to mail order, that might be the way to go. We waited about 6 weeks for this batch.
If you don't already do it, I suggest keeping at least a 3 month emergency supply. Our insurance is strict, so we just bought it at a retail pharmacy. Cortef is pretty cheap considering the peace of mind the extra supply brings. I asked for it to be dispensed in the original manufacturer packaging so I could see the expiration date. Many pharmacies change that to one year from date dispensed when they put it in new packaging, but Cortef tablets have a much longer shelf life.
