Edmonton family ‘hit a wall’ trying to refill their son’s much-needed medication
Description
October 22, 2024
An Edmonton family facing a lengthy wait to see an endocrinologist has now found a way to refill their son's dwindling Genotropin supply. Down to their last few doses, the family has been able to source it themselves, but the much-needed human growth hormone treatment could cost them up to $1,000 a month. As Erik Bay tells us, the family is facing bureaucratic struggles in getting a prescription that would cover those costs.
