   Three months of IV Rocephin for free.
   
    1. Call Roche Pharamceuticals in Nutley, New Jersey at (973)
       235-5000. Call and ask about their patient assistance program. Ask
       for a "Needy Meds Application" to be sent to you.
    2. Upon receipt, fill out the form with your doctor. The form
       consists of only a few lines and should take no longer than 5
       minutes tops. No files or papers must be sent- ONLY this simple
       form. Your doctor should send it off.
    3. Usually, from the time the form is sent to arrival of the drug at
       your Doctors office will take 3 weeks. The usual shipment is of 3
       months of Rocephin. You may refill at will with the same simple
       form. IV supplies can be gotten cheaply if you comparison shop. A
       Visiting Nurse is essential for a week in the beginning to teach a
       family member (or self if able) to do dressing changes, infusions
       and sterile procedures.
