ray, i do think you are mistaken. possibly, in the case of isradiipine exceptions were made. see below - last paragraph There are three general rules about drugs that Medicare drug plans will not cover under Part D. This plan cannot: . cover a drug that would be covered under Medicare Part A or Part B. . cover a drug purchased outside the United States and its territories. . generally cover drugs prescribed for "off label" use, (any use of the drug other than those indicated on a drug's label as approved by the Food and Drug Administration) unless supported by criteria included in certain reference books (eg, American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information, the DRUGDEX Information System and the USPDI) or its successor). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rayilyn Brown" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 2:36 AM Subject: Re: nilotinib/aspirin and others >I take Isradiipine, a blood pressure drug in PD Phase 3 trial, I do have >borderline hypertension, but nobody asked what it was being prescribed >for. > > Like Tasigna, it is already approved, so neuros must be afraid of being > sued as no explanation of why dug is being prescribed is required. > > I'm in process of seeing I could take Zocor (Simvastatin in PD trial) > for my hyperglycemia.
