Tri-Luma is currently on manufacturer backorder and is available from compounding pharmacies (I know this because I work for a compounding pharmacy). Generally speaking, what advice do you have for patients requiring a customized or commercially-unavailable medication such as Tri-Luma in terms of finding the right pharmacy for them?
