I just blogged on this last week — and seems I got bit.
Here’s the deal — if you are a Type 1 diabetic you need two vials of symlin a month. However, if you are a Type 2 diabetic, you’re on twice the dose, so you need 4!
Guess what, when I got my Symlin, I got two vials.
Imagine my panic this weekend when I realized I had almost gone through one vial in one week. I did the math, and I got four vials, not two.
I was so freaked, that I called Amylin — nice people and asked and they verified that yes, I was supposed to have 4.
So I called the pharmacy and found out that they filled it wrong. Script was written one month’s supply, 20 units. Which is right, but they filled with 2 vials.
So I ran by and picked it up and whew, have my 4 (I still can nurse at least one dose out) vials.
