Generic For Metanx?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I refilled my Rx for Metanx and it was a different color. I asked and the druggist said this was a generic for Metanx. I refused the Rx and went to another drugstore with my Rx. Am I wrong? Is there a generic for Metanx?

I have been prescribed Mentanx for neuropathy with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I would like to use the RxDirect company, but do not want to order anything over the phone. I want an email as documentation for anything I buy. I also don't know why they insist on me giving out part of my SSN and cell phone to even order.

The wording of generic is incorrect. There are other prescription foods; that are vitamins which are exactly the same as Metanx! How about one called Foltanx? Generic connotes drug; Metanx is not a drug; generic doesn't apply. Do not let anyone fool you with the statement, "There is no generic to Metanx."

You are incorrect if the labeling on Foltanx s as follows, which it is UNLESS a manufacturer is cheating. Therefore, Metanx = Foltanx

3mg of activated B9 (L- methytetrahydrofolate calcium) - this name is shorten by many names
2mg of activated B12 (methylcobalamin)
35mg of activated B6 (pyridoxal 5 phosphate)

Activated means the vitamin is immediately ready to be used by the body's functions of the cell. The body doesn't need to convert the the vitamin into the activated form to be used, a simple biochemical process!

I pay $50 per month for Metanx. My podiatrist wrote on my prescription "Brand medically necessary" . I have Cigna health insurance. I have type 2 diabetes. Earlier this week my husband went to pick up my Metanx and the pharmacist said the insurance company no longer cover this medicine. While I was on the phone with Cigna, my husband called the pharmacy because Cigna claims there is an over the counter brand available.After speaking with a supervisor, Cigna claims the FDA no longer considers Metanx a prescription drug??? How can they do that????

You can get 60 tablets of Foltanex for $38 or 90 tablets for $55 at Walgreen's with a pharmacy coupon. I was skeptical but I just did it and it worked fine. Coupons are also available for purchasing at other stores but the cost is much higher. I don't understand why the price at Walgreens with a coupon is so much lower but it works.

Here's the facts - no spin

"This partnership will finally ensure that patients who want generics of Pamlab's medical foods will be able to obtain products that are exactly the same as the brand. Breckenridge's authorized generics will be manufactured in the same facility and with the same ingredients and quantities as Pamlab's brand products. Other safeguards for product quality and therapeutic verification of generics for medical foods have recently proven to be inadequate," explained Eric Wingerter, CEO at Pamlab. "We believe that Breckenridge's stability and credibility in the generic market will help to ensure that only authorized generic products are substituted for Pamlab products in patient's prescriptions."

1. Is Foltanx as effective as Metanx in helping to relieve Peripheral Neuropathy in the lower extremeties? (I don't know if Metanx is helpful since I never used it).
2. Does any one know WHERE I can get a low price for Metanx? 2 months ago I got
90 Foltanx tabs at $60 in my local CVS in New Milford, NJ, with a coupon that I was told is INVALID today.

You can get a 3 month prescription from Brand Direct for $178, you mail them your original prescription, I called them first for price quote and address to mail check to then went on automatic refill. They are very nice. You can get it in 3 months or 1 month supplies which works best for you. They are very helpful and kind. Call them and check it and get the real Metanx, the pills are cream and light yellow with imprint on them, that is the real Metanx, not purple/pinkish like the generic brands!

My pharmacy replaced my prescription with Foltanx for generic and it DID NOT WORK!!! I knew right away as the symptoms came back. It was not the real deal. Only brand name Metanx is the real thing and does actually work quite well. I am glad you are getting relief with it but it did nothing for me.

I call Brand Direct and got brand name Metanx for $178 for 3 months supply 2x a day and have automatic refill. I just called them, sent my prescription directly to them and received it within a week or so after they received it. They were very nice and no insurance involved. It has worked well for me, it takes away the horrible bee stinging pains and decreased the amount of burning in my feet. I would recommend it. I have been taking the brand name for 2 months now and feel it is doing a good job. It is best to call the company direct to get a price quote. The number I called was located in Louisiana I believe. Thanks for the information on Brand Direct.

I have checked with several different drug stores and all have told me there is no generic for metanx. Right now it costs me 75.00 a month for a 30 day prescription of metanx.

Rob:
I have the same problem as described in our post of 2013. Please tell me/us how the Metanx is working for you. Are you still on it? What has been your experience. Thanks, Tim

Snowy, read the posts here. Brand Direct Health charges $170 for 90 days of Metanx (not a generic). Best price you will find, I believe. I've used them now for a couple of years and they are terrific. They call me every 90 days to remind me to refill and called me early in December to beat a price increase.
