I’m dealing with the start of a flare (I think) and would like to ask my GI to prescribe Cortifoam again, but couldn’t find it ANYWHERE (and believe me, I looked) six months ago. Is anyone able to get it yet?

I did try Uceris but had a reaction to it. Suppositories/enemas are not an option due to fissure issues. Cortifoam has been just the thing to nudge me along in the past. Thanks!

Here is a rectal inflamination new topic.
There are some nick name who speak about this foam.
Ask them.

Are you USA/Canada/other?

Thanks, iPoop - USA / New England. I did check on the FDA’s drug shortage site today and it’s not listed - but it wasn’t last year, either. We’re going to try to get it from CVS.

FYI, Canada’s site for drug shortages listed it as unavailable from manufacturer as of April.

If anyone sees this and has been able to find - please let me know!

Ah a fellow New Englander (VT here)! Try your health insurance's preferred mail-order provider as well, as they sometimes have a wider net with nationwide access to inventories.

Over 2 years ago I was on it and had no problem reordering it ( it did help for a bit )
. Tried to get some for my cuffitis early winter and no pharmacy could locate it in Ontario . It was on back order everywhere.
