they said the drug has been pushed into october, and the way i would get it would be through special access.
they forwarded my call to their office handling special access programme related queries, which was closed by the time of my call, but i left a message. my goal at that point was to ask them how long their process is after federal special access approval is granted. (that's the quick and easy part.) the process of getting agomelatine from Servier involved a lot of paperwork, faxes, calls back and forth, two sudden freezes in progress due to week-long vacations, leading it to take over two months to finally get the drug, but very graciously it was then given to me for free. contrast this with Sanofi-Aventis, which was the opposite situation: no paperwork, drug shipped to us in a surprising quantity, 300$ invoice followed.
if i find out that their handling of special access cases is different (as in maybe miraculously ideal: no papers, no wait, no cost) i'll post again. the applications to the government are very easy to make.
otherwise: "october" :(
