Issues with Zonegran

Thu, 05/04/2017 - 11:33
Looking for some assistance with Zonegran 100 mg. I've been on this medicine since I was in high school and now my insurance won't cover it anymore. This medicine is very expensive without any insurance and now I feel even more overwhelmed and stressed than ever. We've done our research and this medicine is a lot harder to buy than the generic and I need the brand name!! Running out of time and ideas. Someone please let me know if they have any, much appreciated!

Talk to your neurologist

Talk to your neurologist there are many companies that make meds that supply meds to people having problems. Your neurologist knows which companies do that and the paperwork that needs to be filled out. Also check with your local county hospital they so help supply medications to people needing them

I was once in similar circumstances-no insurance on various drugs- onethat cost over $700 a month. I contacted the manufacturers-was amazed at the generous responses. Do as Joe says but if this doesn't help try directcontact like a letter or email. Let others know your results.
