This is new, and different. I fill my couple of prescriptions at COSTCO [View all]

One of them blood pressure medication Losartan.

I have about 10 left, so I called COSTCO pharmacy for a refill and... the pharmacist called: they are out, have no idea when a new shipment would arrive.

Just two miles from home there is a CVS Pharmacy, so decided to call them, dreading the possibility of others looking for a similar refill.

Yes, CVS pharmacist told me, we do have it, no problem. And, since I got my booster there three months ago, I was in their system.

Will call COSTCO and transfer it and will text you when you have it she said.

A sigh of relief.

But, really, I do hope that after shortage of milk cartons, really, a shortage of common medications will not be next.
