I am just wondering who has been on Zyvox, I took it IV when I first started culturing MRSA. I loved it so much.. I hated it going in, it took an hour by drip IV and made me feel real dizzy as well, but I loved how it cleared my infection.
Anyway, I did 21 days IV of it as a home infusion. I have really good insurance but I got a bill for over $5000.00 in co pays just for that one IV.
My question is two part I guess, one is for those who culture MRSA, have you ever taken Zyvox or has your dr stuck with Vanco because of the cost? It makes me kind of mad that their is such a good drug out there that some people are not getting just based on the cost of it.
I guess I have been reading more and more stories about ppl who are culturing MRSA and their doctors are not putting them on the Zyvox because of cost and it bothers me.
I was just in the hospital again for non cf reasons, but was on the verge of a CF exacerbation and they gave me an 8 day courses of Zyvox IV, and it really cleared my right back up.... Now I await the dreaded bill as I sit here wondering if it was worth me going on it...
