Imitrex single-dose vial code, NOT STAT DOSE!

Hi All
After a lot of frustration with the Stat Dose System for Imitrex I called Glaxo Smith Cline and found out they have viles that you can order along with needles. There are days when I want to split up the dose differently.
Here is the code that you will need to tell your doc for the script NDC 0173-0449-02.
(IMITREX Injection single-dose vial (6 mg/0.5 mL) in cartons containing 5 vials.)
Now if anyone has any tips on how to get the insurance company to pay for more then 30% I would most appreciate it. As it is $100 for three days for me, I am going to the poor house on this cycle 
I hope this helps others as it did me.
Best to all,
SFGIRL69

Glaxo has a program to help people get more imitrex.
From the OUCH website:

Quote:Need More Imitrex?
If you need more Imitrex than your insurance company will provide and your doctor is willing to prescribe, you can contact GlaxoSmithKline directly. They have a division called "Reimbursement Resource Center" (the name implies you have to pay up front, but that is not the case). Call them at 1-800-745-2967 option #3, give them the information they ask for, your doctor's name & number, insurance company info, etc. and they will assign you a case worker who will contact your insurance company and hopefully get them to increase the number of doses |

There is also the Partnership for Prescription Assistance website that has links to over 475 programs to get people the meds they need:

Give these a try. Good luck!

That would be great if you are sure you aren't going to use them in the future. I just don't know what else to do. I am in the 6th week of a cycle and in so much pain I feel like I can't do without it and don't see an end in sight.
Insurance is such a racket!! UGH!
Thank you so much.
