Thank you, FDA!

Good news! The FDA has approved the compounding of 17P so that we can keep this live-saving drug at a low cost. Wedgewood pharmacy (where I ordered mine because it is the only pharmacy to compound the shot without latex), is able to continue providing the drug to mothers in need. Hurray!

Price of 17P Skyrockets

17P is now provided by just one pharmaceutical company, which has spiked the price from $10-20 per shot to about $1,500 per shot. What insurance is going to cover it? Will state health plans continue to carry it? Will the rates of premature delivery skyrocket? I feel SO lucky to have gotten the treatment before this quandary!
