Makena or Compounded 17P?
$30,000 vs $800
That's what we get to decide for our next pregnancy. Someone bought a drug, reformulated it a bit and replaced a generic.
Do we use the generic that's regarded as safe and effective? Do we use the new drug?
I don't want to hold another stillborn child. How can I make an informed decision? There aren't great stats for me to make an easy choice and the marketing makes makena seem like it's a much better choice.
- refurb 11y agoCompounded drugs are generally regarded as safe with a few exceptions. There was a compounding pharmacy in MA that gave hundreds of patient fungal meningitis due to unsterile conditions. I would first see if your insurance will pay for Makena. The company that makes it has reduced the price substantially due to public lashback.
