Re: Help: Creon 20 and Free Shakes???

[Guest guest]

Hi Wade,

welcome to the list!

I have heard about such a program when you use Ultrase, simply

because the maker of Ultrase although makes Scandishakes and you'll

get a certain amount of shakes for every Ultrase prescription. I

haven't heard of this in connection with Creon, but if you go to

www.solvay.com you might find some info. Plus Grandmom Bev, who runs

the CF pharmacy, will provide you with info too.

Peace

I have a paper at home that (I'm not at home right now) I will look for. It

says you can get 12 cans of Nestle NuBasics (better than Scandishake because it

has loads of vitamins and things that Scandishake does not) and 12 NuBasics bars

by ordering Creon. I will email you the phone number. Peggy

Hi,

My son was on Creon for 7 years then when we moved to Connecticut they

switched him over to Ultrase so he could get the scandishakes. Creon

doesn't offer any program like this also your ADEK vitamins are free with

this program, for some reason our insurance wouldn't cover ADEK so that is

another reason we made the switch. Talk to your doctor about switching.

Hi Wade,

I guess the accessibility of free shakes depends on the country you

live in. I'm from Quebec (Canada) and with a prescription from my son's

doctor, my private medical insurances pay scandishakes. Our provincial

gouvernment pay for those who don't have private insurances.

Solvay does offer free Nestle NuBasics products through the Solvay

Patient Assistance Program. Details and contact number are below.

This and other cf patient assistance programs can be found listed on

the CFF website at:

http://www.cff.org/home%20line/homeline200009.htm

There are also other programs available that aren't listed there.

For example, my child gets free ADEKs vitamins through the CF

Services Pharmacy ( http://www.cff.org/cfservices.htm ) by purchasing

Pancrease through them.

To find services, just ask your providers (clinic social workers,

nutritionist, dieticians, the pharmacies that you deal with, even

your supplier of medical equipment.)
