(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 26, 2011 ) New York, NY – Class Action.org is alerting consumers to reports that pharmacies have been substituting certain prescription medical foods with generic products which may not be therapeutically equivalent. Metanx, Deplin, Cerefolin, CerefolinNAC, Neevo and Neevo DHA are among the branded prescription products allegedly being replaced with nonequivalent medical food generics by pharmacists. If you were prescribed one of these medical foods and instead dispensed a medical food generic, you may be entitled to financial compensation, as the generic alternatives may not be therapeutically equivalent to the prescription product. Visit http://www.classaction.org/medical-food-generics.html and complete the free case evaluation form to find out if you have legal recourse to recover the cost of your product.
Allegedly, pharmacies have been dispensing Enfolast-N as a CerefolinNAC generic; Enfolast as a Cerefolin generic; PNV-DHA Plus as a Neevo DHA generic; PNV Iron as a Neevo generic; LMethylfolate Calcium Tablets as a Deplin generic; and Folast, Neurpath-B and Duleek-Met as a Metanx generic. The prescription medical foods are said to contain a unique formula of folate and certain B vitamins, whereas the products being dispensed as their generics reportedly do not contain this specific formulation. Pharmacies were sent alerts indicating that the labels of the generic substitutes do not imply or state that they are generic version or therapeutically equivalent to the branded, prescription products. Still, some pharmacies have continued to substitute the prescription products with the generic medical foods previously mentioned.
If you were prescribed Cerefolin, CerefolinNAC, Neevo, Neevo DHA, Deplin, or Metanx and were instead dispensed an alleged medical food generic, you may be able to recover the cost of the product.
