Red face What this means to you and Alan,

is that not in the near future...nope.

Bristol-Myers will have the court date in the spring, but I suspect they will
win. And brand will only be available. Money talks, and the drug companies
usually win, on patent claims.

There might be regional availability issues. The wholesaler we use, has
estimates of our high need, and likewise holds items for us. You are in another
part of the country, and existing supplies of the generic may be gone, for smaller typical pharmacies.

I no longer have access to the sales reps for the wholesalers, like I used to,
so I am limited in answering this question. Alot depends on how many of the generic units were purchased/stored. Each drug chain does this differently. So it will vary, in how fast it is gone.
