Checking Benzphetamine Stock Without Calling Every Pharmacy

You've got your prescription for Benzphetamine. Now comes the frustrating part: actually finding a pharmacy that has it on the shelf.

Benzphetamine (brand names Didrex and Regimex) isn't as widely stocked as more common weight loss medications like Phentermine. That means you could waste hours calling pharmacy after pharmacy — or you could use the digital tools available in 2026 to check stock from your phone or computer.

Here's how.

Why Is Benzphetamine Hard to Find?

A few factors make Benzphetamine harder to locate than other prescriptions:

• Lower prescribing volume — Phentermine dominates the appetite suppressant market. Because fewer doctors prescribe Benzphetamine, fewer pharmacies keep it in stock.
• Schedule III controlled substance — As a DEA-scheduled drug, pharmacies face extra regulations around ordering and storing it.
• DEA production quotas — All amphetamine-derivative medications are subject to annual manufacturing limits set by the DEA. When quotas are tight, supply can be affected across the board.
• Broader stimulant supply issues — The amphetamine/stimulant shortage that began in 2022-2023 has periodically affected availability of all Schedule II and III stimulants, including Benzphetamine.

How to Check Stock Online

1. MedFinder

MedFinder is designed specifically for hard-to-find medications. Enter your medication name and zip code, and MedFinder shows you which pharmacies near you have Benzphetamine available — no phone calls required.

This is especially useful for controlled substances and medications affected by shortages, where traditional pharmacy search tools may not show accurate availability.

2. GoodRx

GoodRx lets you search for Benzphetamine by name and zip code. While its primary purpose is comparing prices, it also shows which pharmacies in your area carry the medication. You can see estimated prices and apply discount coupons at the same time.

Keep in mind that GoodRx pricing and availability may not always reflect real-time stock levels. It's a good starting point, but you may still want to confirm with the pharmacy.

3. Pharmacy Chain Apps and Websites

Most major pharmacy chains — including CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart — have apps or websites that let you search for medications and check if they can fill your prescription at a specific location. Some allow you to transfer prescriptions between locations if one store is out of stock.

4. RxSaver and SingleCare

Like GoodRx, these platforms let you search for Benzphetamine and see pharmacy availability along with discount pricing. They can be useful for finding pharmacies you might not have considered, including independent pharmacies.

If You Do Need to Call

Sometimes you'll still need to pick up the phone. Here are a few tips to make it faster:

• Call the pharmacy directly — Skip the automated menus if possible and ask to speak with the pharmacy staff.
• Be specific — Ask: "Do you currently have Benzphetamine 50 mg tablets in stock?" Give them the exact drug name, strength, and quantity on your prescription.
• Ask about ordering — If a pharmacy doesn't have it but can order it, ask how long it typically takes. Some pharmacies can get it within 1-2 business days.
• Try independent pharmacies — Smaller, independent pharmacies sometimes have better luck sourcing medications that chain pharmacies don't regularly stock.

Once You Find a Pharmacy

When you locate a pharmacy with Benzphetamine in stock:

• Act quickly — Stock levels can change, especially for less common medications. Fill your prescription as soon as possible.
• Ask about future refills — Let the pharmacist know you'll need ongoing refills so they can plan to keep it in stock for you.
• Compare prices — Generic Benzphetamine can cost as little as $70 to $128 for 90 tablets with a discount card, but prices vary widely by pharmacy. Check our guide on how to save money on Benzphetamine for more tips.
• Build a relationship — Once you find a pharmacy that reliably stocks Benzphetamine, stick with it. A consistent pharmacy relationship makes refills smoother.

Final Thoughts

Finding Benzphetamine in stock doesn't have to mean spending your afternoon on the phone. Tools like MedFinder, GoodRx, and pharmacy apps can save you time and frustration. Start with an online search, confirm availability, and fill your prescription as soon as you find it.
