Spryte Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 We have 6 that are part of the recall, and no other epinephrine in the house. I feel stressed. I can call the doc to have her call in epipens in the am. But seriously. This stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF612 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 So scary! I'm finally thankful insurance was too expensive for it and we had to stick with epi pens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingmama Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm nervous about this recall. Called our docs office and they didn't even know about it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Bummer. I hope they fix this problem soon. We definitely prefer Auvi-Q. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Makes me glad I didn't spring for one. Those suckers are expensive. Big bulky autoinjector for moi. Be safe, fellow allergy friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 We've got epipens! Well, almost. They've been called in. :) Get yer epinephrine, everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 ladybugs Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I am on hold with Sanofi right now and they were playing part of the score from Schindler's List! Not appropriate! I ordered one from our pharmacy in case it isn't in the recall. She didn't know about it. I know I am dreaming that it isn't part of the recall but honestly as a mom that has lost 3 kids I know how I would react if my son couldn't breath and counting may be difficult for me. So I am hoping. If I can't get one, then I have an appointment with the allergist for me on Monday. So I will get a script for the other kind then (for my child). I have a feeling that I am going to be issued one that day too. :( ETA: They are playing another song from a movie that was sad... can't remember the name of the movie. The song was by Barry Manalow. The movie was from the 80's. They need more upbeat waiting music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Check with your pharmacist. I found out because I got an autocall from mine telling me "Your prescription is ready at Walgreens". Apparently my allergist sent out a prescription for epipens for everyone with an Auvi-Q prescription in their computer. I don't know how common that is, but it is definitely good service. My insurance company also covered it with the usual co-pay, which surprised me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the recall is reimbursement for the cost of a new pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 ladybugs Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 They are recalling all Auvi-Q's so there is no way to get one that is NOT recalled. :( They are stopping production for a bit to get a handle on this. Hopefully they will have a fantastic offer to get a new one once this is fixed. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 For Canadians there is also an Allerject recall. We are only able to replace 1 per person as they are worried about a shortage of epinephrine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 yep, all are recalled at this point. Our allergist was awesome to call in epi-pen prescription right after I called. And we never pay for any of our pens. Both companies offer $0 co-pay if you print out the coupon. My allergist usually gives it to me, but the website offers it as well to print out. AuviQ will refund the cost of a new pen if you can't get your new prescription for free. My son likes the voice instructions for when he's at scout events and I am not there. All the kids have seen/practiced with both pens, but my son was kinda upset the voice instruction pen is out of commission. I am just thankful we didn't have to go in for a dr visit to get a refill since it's been awhile..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesmere Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks for sharing.We don't have AuviQs but I can imagine the headache if we had to replace all of our pens. And those $0 co-copay cards didn't stop our insurance from charging us 30% co-insurance. Yes, it was far less than the cash price but it was a long way from zero and on top of our high-ish premiums, our out of network allergist (mostly our fault, but our insurance barely covers above the cash price for in network specialists), labs (subject to deductible) -- it is so expensive.I hope Sanofi comes through quickly on reimbursement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I didn;'t see this post and posted a new post about this. DD has them and hopefully will get Epipens now. The allergist put a call into her pharmacy in the other state where she goes to college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
