Hi! Thank you for your quick response.
According to the literature there is no generic production of Abraxane (brand name for Nab-paclitaxel). My understanding is that Paclitaxel is an older version of Nab-paclitaxel and that studies have shown that Nab-paclitaxel is a more effective combination drug with Gemzar.
Apparently Bristol Myers Squibb is working hard to stop any generic production of Abraxane.
BMS is apparently allocating the small supply of Abraxane and I am looking to grass root forums to see if this shortage is regional, local or truly national.
I appreciate the opportunity to connect with others via your forum.
Thank you

This is very concerning that a Pharmaceutical company would try to prohibit a generic brand of this medicine. It is a shame that people's lives depend on this medicine, yet there's a shortage. It appears that someone cares, apparently, more for money than the life of a person.
