MD| Last I heard the company just hadn't kept up with the demand.  This
MD| from a Canadian source.                                            

Actually they were pulled from the market. There was some sort of dosing
problem. Nothing major, but the amount of drug released from the patch
would vary from patch to patch.

I spoke to the CIBA people about this in early Feb, and they said they
should be back on the shelves this summer sometime. The reason I am up
on this is that I get major seasick, but I like to deep seak fish.
Luckely, I bought several boxes last season to tide me over.
