Help Valeant Pharmaceticals and Mestinon

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0c3ef52174d15

This is a disturbing article about the collapse of Valeant. As you know, Mestinon is made by Valeant. What this means for the future of the drug is anyone's guess.

For those of us who can only use Mestinon, this is fairly unsettling.

I thought you guys should be made aware of this situation.

Just want to add...Oceanside Pharmaceuticals, which is one of the biggest suppliers of Pyridostigmine Bromide (generic Mestinon) is a subsidiary of Valeant. Not sure how any of this will impact those who take Mestinon, or it's Oceanside generic.

I looked into Global Pharmaceuticals, they also manufacture generic Mestinon. Global doesn't appear to be connected with Valeant. Anxiously awaiting other info!

I guess that you will all have to get your meds from this side of the pond Meda Pharma.
