Re: Have not posted here in a while- questions concerning enzymes

[Guest guest]

Deborah,

Where do you live? I am in Iowa and that is what my daughters take to but

have not heard of any increase or had any problems with my insurance not

paying for them. Deb A

Hi Deborah,

I think that Kris has given the correct advice how to handle this and

it is to hope that the problem will be solved. But if not, Ray

Goldstein from Cystic-L has found out last year, that Ultrase and

Lipram are both produced by the same company and are identical. I had

forwarded Ray's message to this list, one should find it in the

archive when you search for Lipram. But I am afraid you'll lose the

free Scandishakes and ADEKs when you switch to Lipram, so try Kris

advice first.

Peace

Torsten

of it. We have problems off and on with various meds and I can

generally call the numbers that they provide if there is a question

and explain our situation, occasionally I do have to write a letter,

but overall they have never forced us to switch a medication or pay

extra if it is documented that this is the only one that is effective

for the child.
