Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Now that I am getting closer to surgery, I guess I should get some of these.....where do you order them again? Anyone who had Dr. Hess, did you order your vitamins before surgery or just get the list from him in the hospital as to what he wanted you to take? and what exactly does Dr. Hess have you take?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Carole, Dr. Hess will give you perscriptions for the different vitamins, etc just before you check out of the hospital.... There is a pharmacy called Jak's in the medical building next to the hospital where you can get all of them filled....Word to the wise, don't try to use a credit card in Jak's....Jak's charge an extra $5 each time you use a credit or debit card, which I thought was quite a rip off...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Pammi, How much does the CF foundation charge you for ADEK's now? When I got mine there they were $13 a bottle....wonder if they raised the price? Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 You can get ADEKs at Walmart, just call the pharmacy ahead of time and they will order for you. I just got mine from CF Foundation, they are cheaper--but the first bottle will get you thru until you register and get your doc to send a RX to them. I just started taking them..I like that they are chewable. I actually suck on them. One in the morning and one at night.

They also appreciate your getting 6-months' worth of your order all at once to save them shipping and handling costs. Very reasonable, since they are there to serve the CF community, and they lose a little bit of money on each sale at $13. Scandipharm on the web charges $21.95 plus shipping. --Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 I got 300 pills for $65. accoring to the invoice in the box. Which is less than $13/bottle. THe girl on the phone had told me $20 a bottle, but she was kind of daffy, called me 3 times to get me set up in their system. You do have to order 6 month supply at a time. I guess I will wait for the charge to come through and see what I really will be paying. Pammi > Pammi, > How much does the CF foundation charge you for ADEK's now?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Thanks Steve, but how can they lose money if we are buying more from them? You would think the more people are buying the more they make (or certainly dont lose!) I wonder if the neighborhood drugs would sell them for less? What about Wal Mart and their cost? $13 was such a great deal when buying 6 at a time! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
