RE:RE:RE:RE:Has Donnatal always been this expenseive? LETTUCE..... Now now , are trying to compare the level and quality of health and inspection of the FDA to the Canadian system? The US is way ahead of Canada , and Canada should take its lead from the US , not the other way around.And you're dodging SELECT'S question.... It should be a simple answer for you.... And if you don't know , just ask the chicken farmer.

It is no longer n compliance with Canadian law as a drug product that has undergone and passed a review of its formulation, labelling and instructions for use. It has had its drug identification number (D.I.N) discontinued by Health Canada.
If you claim to know so much about AMCo/CXR's medications can you please tell me the four Brand name products that Concordia has just "purchased" and that they recently announced in a recent press release? Thanks much.

Lattice wrote: Hi Sherry, It sounds like your IBS is no laughing matter. But the medication that you are paying $2700 is. The FDA has already idenitifed phenobarbital in Donnatal as a problem and determined that there is very little evidence that it has a medically relevant effect. You may want to ask your doctor who he is golfing with this weekend as I hear that Concordia amped up their golf force to give one last push to Donnatal before it is yanked by the upcoming FDA DESI hearings.

I take
Donnatal pills. Thank the Good Lord my insurance pays for it. ($2,700.00 for a months worth. I pay $50.00) I was reading through all the posts and a lot of people can't afford it. The more I read the more I felt guilty because I can get it and so many can't. So I went to the web site called Concordia (this is where my Rite Aid gets it). I told Concordia about the prices and I started out the call with a little chip on my shoulder. The woman assured me that they could help a lot with the price if only people would call them. I don't know if it is BS or not but it is worth a toll free call. You can call Concordia Pharmaceuticals Inc. at
1-877-370-1142. Good Luck everyone. I wish I could put all of you on my insurance because people don't realize how debilitating the pain is; not to mention how you have to be by a toilet at all times. I have had Colitis for 31 years. My heart goes out to you all!!!! If you have Blue Cross there is a form you have to fill out and maybe fib a little. (very little) but if you are willing to fight and your Dr. is too then you might have it made. God Bless.

Could you please send me your email? I use Donnatol also and I have a suggestion for you for obtaining it, depending on your insurance.
