Free Rocephin & Other Free Meds

[Guest guest]

Rocephin- Roche Pharmaceuticals manufacturers it, and their phone number is

(973) 235-5000. Call and ask about their patient assistance program. Tell them

how extremely serious your situation is and ask if the forms can be processed

ASAP.

Rocephin is prohibitively expensive, sometimes up to $200 a day. If you cannot

afford this but you need Rocephin, the generosity of Roche Pharmaceuticals has

made FREE Rocephin not only possible, but very simple.

1. Call Roche Pharmaceuticals in Nutley, New Jersey. (973) 235-5000

Ask for a " Needy Meds Application " to be sent to you.

2. Upon receipt, fill out the form with your doctor. The form consists of only a

few lines and should take no longer than 5 minutes tops. No files or papers must

be sent- ONLY this simple form. Your doctor should send it off.

3. Usually, from the time the form is sent to arrival of the drug at your

Doctors office will take 3 weeks. The usual shipment is of 3 months of Rocephin.

You may refill at will with the same simple form.

IV supplies can be gotten cheaply if you comparison shop.

This information is very, very helpful. Thank you so much!

I am still going through a war between the County and the State.

Yesterday, the STate denied me Medicaid because SSI denied my first

application for disability. Of course, it was the State who sent me

the letter to come in and apply for Medicaid now that I had been

rejected by SSI. Go figure! And now, they are playing games with my

foodstamps!

You know, I am a strong person, but I am getting a bit worn down this

week with all this.

Rita, I probably do need an LL attorney.

At any rate, one question: where to look for IV supplies??? Not from

these links. I don't know what to look for, needles, tubes, hepburn

lock, I have no clue. Does anyone know???

Thanks so much.
