ADEK's q

[Guest guest]

OK, OK, I am confused. I am in the medical field, but unsure if this is the

same that I am thinking of..go figure, I usually am a few short of a full

deck at times..I have always said I was born with blonde roots (no offense

to blonde's out there), or just having a brain fart!! ADEK's are Vit A, D,

E, & K. right?? I also keep hearing/reading of ordering it off the web?? Yes

I am new here, and a confused premie, but a little help would help this

cloud of confusion right now. Thanks!!

Go to http://www.cff.org (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation) --you can get

them for half price there.

Register either on the web or by printing out the form and FAXing it in.

Once accepted, have your doc phone in a prescription for ADEKs (ask

for 120 at a time on the Rx, which will come to $26 and qualify for

free postage)

The other way is to order from Scandipharm at twice the price ($26

for 60 tabs).

P.S., the registration form qualifies you as having cystic fibrosis.

If your ethics bother you, call their free number and 'fess up. They

will tell you that you do not need to have CF, and that malabaorptive

intestinal surgery is sufficient to qualify you.

My first order is on the mail. Thanks to others on the list who clued me in.

I understand your statement but don't really seem to find a question in

there though you end by saying you would like some help. Yes, ADEKs are

made up of vitamins A, D, E and K and are chewable and in a form absorbable

by those who have severe malabsorption problems. Those are the fat soluble

vitamins which are generally not absorbed from your multi-vitamins. You can

order them on the web at http://www.axcanscandipharm.com/. You can order

them by phone and credit card at 1-. Finally you can give the

address to a pharmacy and most will order it for you. They are available

non-prescription but some doctors will write you a prescription for them

which will allow you to be covered by your insurance.

Hope that covered your question, whatever it was.

Regards.
