Certain Medical Food Generics May Not Be Equivalent to Branded Prescriptions

The attorneys at Morgan and Morgan have released a new consumer alert regarding certain generic products being offered as substitutes for branded prescription medical foods. Allegedly, pharmacies have been substituting prescription medical foods for generic alternatives which may not be therapeutically equivalent. Deplin, Metanx, Neevo, Neevo DHA, Cerefolin, and CerefolinNAC are among the prescription products reportedly being substituted with medical food generics. If you were supplied a medical food generic for one of these prescription drugs, you may be entitled to financial compensation, as these generics may not be equivalent to the branded item. Visit http://www.forthepeople.com/medical-food-generics--11-2920.html and complete the free case review form to find out if you can recover the cost of your product. 

Metanx, Deplin, Neevo, Neevo DHA, Cerefolin and CerefolinNAC are advertised as having a unique formulation which provides active forms of folate and certain B vitamins to manage specific nutritional needs. Available by prescription only, these products contain the active, naturally occurring form of folate used by the body, unlike products containing folic acid. Because certain medical food generics being dispensed as substitutes for these prescription drugs reportedly do not contain this specific formula, consumers may be eligible for legal recourse. 

Consumers may be able to participate in a medical food generic class action lawsuit if they were dispensed: Folast, Neurpath-B or Duleek-Met instead of Metanx; LMethylfolate calcium tablets instead of Deplin; PNV Iron instead of Neevo; PNV-DHA Plus instead of Neevo DHA; Enfolast instead of Cerefolin; or Enfolast-N instead of CerefolinNAC.
