[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got a letter yesterday from Ferring Pharmaceuticals that during a routine quality monitoring they recently determined that certain lots of BRAVELLE did not meet potency requirements through the expiration date.  They are planning to remove all remaining lots of BRAVELLE from the US market. They are agreeing to reimburse patients who purchased BRAVELLE in the US between March 27, 2014 - October 15, 2015.

I am furious about this! I went through so much during my first IVF procedure in September only to find out that my meds were duds. I don't think that getting reimbursed for the meds is enough. I called today and they asked me a series of questions about my eligibility and said that they would send me a full reimbursement with my receipts as long as it was within that time period.  After that, I told them that the reimbursement wasn't enough and the poor customer service rep said that she would give my name to the "escalation" dept.  She said that they would be in touch. I'm not a pharmeucutical or class action expert, but this sounds like a class action in the making.[/quote]

Thank you for posting this - I'm going to call today. I did two rounds, in May and September of this year.

If dud meds were the reason your cycles didn't work, I'd say they owe you a WHOLE LOT MORE than reimbursement.

Would the result of these impotent meds be only a failure to retrieve enough eggs, or could they have some other effect?[/quote]
