my mother is on Pentasa, 250mg, 4 tabs, 4 times a day. She cannot take the 500 mg tabs as she has allergy to the casing.
Her insurance company is refusing to pay anything towards this medication now and is suggesting another med be used.
Letters from her doctors don’t matter to them.
I have taken her to her GI doctor and because of the type of Crohns she has, this is the only medication that can treat her and keep her symptoms from occurring and putting her into the hospital. She is 84 years old and has over $ 30,000 in pentasa debt for this medication just to live.
Now it is time to either pay my mortgage or pay for this med to keep my mother alive. It is $ 1600 a month just for this one medication.
I just don't know what to do.
