HI Guys,

I have been sick, and just got up after 42 hours of sleeping. Anyway, I sent

this to the list Oct.12. It is From Medscape newsletter and it states that the

FDA approved a first time GENERIC form (330mg tablets) of Carnitor made by CORE

Pharmaceuticals.

So Alice , the tablets are available as a generic form. It might take awhile for

all the pharmacies to get the new generic form of tablets, but it has been

approved by the FDA.

Good Luck.

Hugs,

Ann-Marie
