Our pharmacy has been able to track down a few bottles to get her by for a while, but eventually she will have to go back on Mestinon, which doesn't work well for her.
My question, is Mytelase discontinued worldwide? I know it has been popular in France and other parts of Europe. I would appreciate any info. Thanks!

I would try and find a French pharmacy to order from and hope it makes it through customs. Just don't order too large a quantity lest they think you're dealing something and I've heard they don't tend to stop people's personal meds. My guess is the worst that'll happen is they confiscate it and you're out the money you paid (don't quote me on that--I'm not a lawyer and don't want to get you sent to prison).
