Pharmacy Carry Prescription Fluoride Gel

Has anyone had trouble getting prescriptions for prescription fluoride gel filled? Through mail-order pharmacy (Medco). I'm always surprised by what my local pharmacy doesn't have, so this seems like an odd thing to get.

I actually found some on Amazon (even though it requires a prescription) but I want to be "legit" about it if I can.

    It took my pharmacy a few
    It took my pharmacy a few days to get it in. It wasn't something they had a lot of sitting around. But they ordered it and it wasn't a problem:) Btw, that was through Walgreens so it shouldn't be a problem for others.

    I just got a prescription ...
    mouthwash and flouride toothpaste today from my dentist. Got it from Rite-Aid.

    Surprised you can't get those items from your pharmacy...I live in a 2,000 population town and got it today / written today.

    Hope you get what you need.
