It is exorbitantly expensive, as is Zelnorm. If you have no insurance coverage...       06/02/05 06:03 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA ask your doc, or better still call the drug company, about programs for providing the medication free of charge. Most drug companies will do this, but they don't advertise it (and some docs don't even know about it). Your doc may have to be the one to contact the company - their number should be on the drug insert that comes with the med, and your doc likely has some drug samples in his office. You'll fill out a form, submit to the drug company, and they'll send your doc a supply for you. Now - I don't know if this applies to drugs that are under such heavy prescribing limitations as Lotronex. The FDA might have a say about this. But, it might not even be an issue, so you could at least look into it. Best, Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
