Re: Voriconozole...anyone try this?

Agreed Voriconazole is prohibitively expensive and there is no generic version. The patents haven't worn off on it yet. But the patents haven't worn off on Noxafil (posaconazole) either so I imagine it is rather expensive as well.

It will probably be difficult to be accepted into the patient's assistant program for Noxafil. In the brochure it states:

"NOXAFIL® (posaconazole) is indicated for prophylaxis of invasive Aspergillus and Candida infections in patients, 13 years of age and older, who are at high risk of developing these infections due to being severely immunocompromised, such as hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients with Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) or those with hematologic malignancies with prolonged neutropenia from chemotherapy."

"Medication may be provided at no cost through the program, based on income eligibility and insurance status"

I can imagine insurance companies aren't going to go along with it unless you meet the conditions they stated above and have a clinical diagnosis of invasive Candida.
