Pulmozyme is not covered in New Zealand for CF patients, stupid small country,

the CF person has to have had a major decline in luing function like gone down

from 70 to 40 % or something stupid. I asked the doctor and it will cost

About $18,000 per annum. UGGGGGGG I would like to put Liam on this when he is

older but well maybe we wont be now that I know the cost.

Here in the States if you can afford it they give it for free.We didnt have

insurance for a year and we applied and got approve. Of course they go by your

income but who can afford 1300.00 a month thru the cf pharmacy.We got it free

of charge until qualify for Lachip.I dont know in NZ but just ask it wont

hurt .

That is thru the Genentech Voucher Program.The US phone # is (in the

states) toll free 1- Ask for TIKI WILLIAMS. Good Luck.

I think if it is actually sold in your country , then they will allow

vouchers. It as others have said. Worth a try.
