All the MS Specialists out at UBC MS Research Center will rx it, or at least they were still doing so a month ago. I would contact them, or ask your mom's GP to contact them (or her current neuro) for confirmation that it is A-ok for the GP to do so.

I believe the MS Specialists at Bby Hospital MS Clinic will as well.

Is your mom seeing a neurologist vs. MS Specialist?

My doc (GP) does, but he isn't taking any new patients.

You could try calling some of the compounding pharmacies around town (where-ever you live) and ask them (on the sly) for the names of doctors locally that they know of who are rxing.

There are also some alternative doctors around that will rx it at a price, but it's been years since I've looked into that angle.

If you get desperate, PM me and I'll try to come up with some other ideas. The problem is that ANY doctor is likely going to want to know the patient before rxing a compounded med ...
