Zofran has been off patent for a little while now, ask for the generic, it should be at least half that price
Can I ask my doctor to request pharmacare to cover Zofran?26F, 195 lbs, white, current meds are Mirena IUD, cipralex, wellbutrin, and pantoprazole. Current diagnosis of IBS.For the last four years or so have been dealing with awful and disruptive GI problems. Rectal bleeding, diarrhea, distention, nausea, vomiting, pain etc. Blood work has only ever shown anemia, which I've dealt with before, and calprotectin, fecal occult, and scopes have all been given, only finding is enlarged internal hemorrhoids but not so large to warrant a banding procedure.I saw my doctor today as nausea and vomiting were controlled by pantoprazole for almost a year, but nausea and vomiting has worsened, and I've been having increased pain localized to LRQ that will stop me in my tracks, and feels like a rolling intense cramp, or intense pressure. She wrote me a prescription for Zofran, and it was $272 for 90 tablets. I have provincial coverage, but since I'm not a pediatric patient or undergoing chemo or radiation I'm not eligible for coverage.Could I ask my doctor to petition pharmacare to get me coverage and explain that I've already been on meds that have failed to control problems? How likely is it that can be covered
