Anyone else having trouble getting Xifaxan? It has been on back order for a while from CVS and I am getting concerned I will run out after being on it for 15+ years. I may have to look at some of the alternative therapies.

I get mine through a specialty pharmacy affiliated with my medical center every 2 weeks and have not experienced any supply issues. I've use a Canadian pharmacy in the past which was pretty efficient and could supply larger quantities. It took a few weeks, though. I still have some left for back-up in case there are delays on the current deliveries.
Supply issues sometimes seem to plague CVS when other pharmacies have no problem. I abandoned CVS a few years ago when they inexplicably couldn’t fill my Cipro prescription for an extended period. Before switching medications you might try calling some other pharmacies in your area. They can generally transfer your prescription if you ask them to.
I get mine from Israel pharmacy. I do not think insurance covers it, but I pay $175.00 for 30 tablets. Since I rotate antibiotics, this is not too much to pay.
