Your Pharmacy Doesn't Have Ibrexafungerp — Now What?

Getting a prescription for Ibrexafungerp (brand name: Brexafemme) is one thing. Actually finding a pharmacy that has it in stock is another. If your pharmacist told you they don't carry it or it's not available, don't panic — and don't give up on your prescription.

Brexafemme is the only non-azole oral antifungal for vaginal yeast infections, and it's available in the U.S. The challenge is that not every pharmacy stocks it. In this guide, we'll walk you through three practical strategies for finding Ibrexafungerp in stock, plus what to do if none of them work.

To understand why this medication is hard to find in the first place, read our explainer: Why is Ibrexafungerp so hard to find?

Tip 1: Use Medfinder to Search for Pharmacies With Ibrexafungerp in Stock

The fastest way to find Brexafemme is to use Medfinder. Instead of calling pharmacy after pharmacy, Medfinder lets you search for pharmacies near you that currently have specific medications in stock.

Here's how to use it:

1. Go to medfinder.com
2. Enter "Ibrexafungerp" or "Brexafemme" in the search bar
3. Enter your zip code or allow location access
4. Browse results to find a pharmacy near you with availability

This can save you hours of phone calls and trips to pharmacies that don't carry the medication. For a deeper look at how to check availability, read how to check if a pharmacy has Ibrexafungerp in stock.

Tip 2: Try Independent and Specialty Pharmacies

Large chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens stock medications based on high-volume demand. Because Brexafemme is a newer, less commonly prescribed drug, chains often don't carry it.

Independent pharmacies can be a better bet. These smaller, locally owned pharmacies are often more willing to special-order a medication for you — sometimes with next-day availability. Here's why independent pharmacies can help:

• They have more flexibility in their ordering
• They're often more willing to work directly with your insurance company
• They may offer more personalized service and follow-up

Specialty pharmacies are another option. These pharmacies focus on medications that are harder to find, more expensive, or require special handling. Your doctor's office may be able to refer you to a specialty pharmacy that carries Brexafemme.

Tip 3: Call Pharmacies During Off-Peak Hours

If you do need to call pharmacies directly, try calling during off-peak hours — typically mid-morning on a weekday (Tuesday through Thursday). Pharmacy staff are less rushed and more likely to:

• Check their inventory carefully
• Look up whether they can order it from their distributor
• Give you an estimated timeline for when it could arrive

When you call, ask these specific questions:

1. "Do you currently have Brexafemme (Ibrexafungerp) 150 mg tablets in stock?"
2. "If not, can you order it? How long would it take to arrive?"
3. "Do you accept my insurance for this medication?"

What If You Still Can't Find Ibrexafungerp?

If local pharmacies aren't working out, you have a few more options:

Mail-Order Pharmacy

Some mail-order pharmacies and online pharmacy services carry Brexafemme. Your doctor can send the prescription electronically. Delivery usually takes a few days, but it eliminates the hassle of searching locally.

Ask Your Prescriber for Help

Your OB/GYN or prescribing doctor likely has experience with this situation. Their office may know exactly which pharmacies in your area stock Brexafemme, or they can contact the pharmacy directly to arrange an order.

Talk to Your Doctor About Alternatives

If you need treatment immediately and can't wait for Brexafemme to be ordered, ask your doctor about alternatives to Ibrexafungerp. Options like Fluconazole, Miconazole (Monistat), Clotrimazole, or Terconazole may be available right away.

Look Into Savings Programs

Cost can also be a barrier. If your pharmacy can get the drug but your insurance won't cover it, look into the Brexafemme Savings Card from Scynexis, which may reduce your out-of-pocket cost to as little as $0 for eligible commercially insured patients.

Final Thoughts

Finding Ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme) in stock takes a little extra effort in 2026, but it's absolutely possible. Start with Medfinder to check pharmacy availability in your area. If that doesn't work, try independent and specialty pharmacies, or ask your prescriber's office for guidance.

The most important thing is not to delay treatment. If you're dealing with a vaginal yeast infection, work with your doctor to make sure you're getting the care you need — whether that's Brexafemme or an appropriate alternative.
