Checking Xdemvy Stock Without Picking Up the Phone

You've got your prescription for Xdemvy (Lotilaner ophthalmic solution 0.25%), and now you need to find a pharmacy that actually has it. If you've tried your regular neighborhood pharmacy, you may have already hit a wall — and that's not unusual.

Xdemvy isn't like a typical prescription you can fill at any corner drugstore. It's a limited distribution drug (LDD), which means it's only dispensed through select specialty pharmacies. But that doesn't mean you have to spend your afternoon calling around. Here's how to check availability without making a single phone call.

Why Is Xdemvy Hard to Find at Regular Pharmacies?

First, a quick explanation so you know what you're dealing with. Xdemvy is not available at standard retail pharmacies like your local CVS, Walgreens, or independent pharmacy counter. Instead, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals distributes it through a network of specialty pharmacies that handle medications requiring special storage, handling, or patient support.

This is common for newer, specialized medications. It's not a shortage — Xdemvy does not have an active FDA-reported drug shortage. The challenge is simply knowing where to look.

How to Check Availability Online

1. Use Medfinder

Medfinder is designed to help patients find medications that are hard to locate. You can search for Xdemvy and see which specialty pharmacies have it available, compare pricing, and connect with pharmacies that can ship directly to your door.

This is one of the fastest ways to get a clear picture of where Xdemvy is in stock without calling anyone.

2. Check Specialty Pharmacy Portals

Since Xdemvy is dispensed through specialty pharmacies, these are the places to check:

• CVS Specialty — visit cvsspecialty.com or call their specialty line. Many patients can manage prescriptions and check status through the CVS Specialty app.
• Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy — available online at walgreens.com/specialty or through their pharmacy portal.
• Other specialty pharmacies — your doctor's office may work with a specific specialty pharmacy partner and can send your prescription directly.

Most specialty pharmacies offer home delivery, so you may not even need to pick it up in person. Once your prescription is processed, they'll ship it to you.

3. Ask Your Doctor's Office

Here's something many patients don't realize: your eye doctor's office often handles the specialty pharmacy coordination for you. When they prescribe Xdemvy, they may:

• Send the prescription directly to a preferred specialty pharmacy
• Work with Tarsus Field Reimbursement Managers to set up access
• Help you enroll in the manufacturer savings program

If your doctor wrote the prescription but didn't discuss how to fill it, call their office and ask which specialty pharmacy they recommend. This one phone call (to your doctor, not pharmacies) can save you a lot of time.

4. Use GoodRx for Price and Availability Info

While GoodRx is primarily a price comparison tool, searching for Xdemvy on their platform can give you a sense of which pharmacy chains carry it and what pricing looks like in your area. Keep in mind that the prices shown on GoodRx may differ from what you'll pay through insurance or the manufacturer savings card.

5. Check the Manufacturer Website

The official Xdemvy website at xdemvy.com provides information on how to access the medication, including details about specialty pharmacy partners and the savings card program. The companion HCP site at xdemvyhcp.com can also be a resource if your doctor needs help navigating the distribution process.

If You Prefer to Call

Sometimes a phone call is the most direct route. If you'd rather talk to a person, here's how to make it efficient:

What to Say

When you call a specialty pharmacy, have this information ready:

• Your full name and date of birth
• The medication: Xdemvy (Lotilaner ophthalmic solution 0.25%)
• Your prescribing doctor's name and phone number
• Your insurance information

Ask specifically:

• "Do you carry Xdemvy and can you fill a prescription for it?"
• "How long does it typically take to process and ship?"
• "Do you accept my insurance, and can you run a benefits check?"

Who to Call

• CVS Specialty Pharmacy: 1-800-237-2767
• Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy: 1-866-515-1002
• Your doctor's office: Ask which specialty pharmacy they use for Xdemvy

Once You Find It

After locating a specialty pharmacy that carries Xdemvy, here's what to expect:

Processing Time

Specialty pharmacy prescriptions can take a few days to process, especially if:

• Your insurance requires prior authorization (common for Xdemvy)
• The pharmacy needs to verify your benefits
• You're enrolling in the manufacturer savings card

Plan ahead — don't wait until you're completely out of your current treatment (if using one) to start the process.

Home Delivery

Most specialty pharmacies ship Xdemvy directly to your home with appropriate packaging. Delivery is often free and arrives within a few business days after processing.

Cost and Savings

A full 6-week course of Xdemvy costs around $1,850 without insurance. But most insured patients pay significantly less:

• Over 85% of insured patients now have coverage for Xdemvy
• The Xdemvy Savings Card can bring eligible commercially insured patients' copay to as low as $0
• Many patients with coverage pay $30 or less

If There's a Delay

If your specialty pharmacy encounters a processing delay:

• Ask for an estimated timeline
• Confirm your insurance authorization is in progress
• Check whether your doctor's office can help expedite the process
• Consider whether an alternative specialty pharmacy might be faster

Final Thoughts

Finding Xdemvy in stock is mostly about knowing where to look. Since it's a limited distribution drug, your regular pharmacy won't carry it — but specialty pharmacies absolutely do, and many offer seamless home delivery.

Start with Medfinder to quickly check availability, or ask your doctor's office which specialty pharmacy they work with. Once you're connected with the right pharmacy, filling your prescription should be straightforward.
