Check Your Ibrance Pills Upon Receiving Them

Hi lovely people,

My pills are delivered by carrier to my front door. My last order I only received 2 of the 3 packs in the box. Each pack has 7 pills. Since Ibrance costs so much my brother keeps track of the pills, so I don't forget and take 2 pills the same day, and lets me know when the week I am to quit taking them.

I called the manufacturer as I would be a week short. They are sending me a full 3 pack. I was told to quit the regular week but I will have lost a weeks worth of pills as I was to continue on from where I left off. I will discuss this with my oncologist as this remedy isn't correct.

Has anyone else been shorted a weeks supply and what was the result?

Thank you for your kindness, -GH

Hi,Mine have been shipped out of the recommended temperature ranges and had to be replaced but I haven't been shorted. Glad they are sending the other pack with no hassle. Who is your insurance? Blessings, Hannah

I think if they send you the regular 3 pack on top of the 2 pack that they already sent you that you will, in fact, have an extra 2 weeks worth. Just hang on to them in case you might need them in the future!

You would think. I'm still short 1 week of pills as I was due the next new pack. It's 3 weeks on and 1 week off.

Check with your onc about being off an extra week. It might be ok to miss a week. My onc actually changed my schedule to two weeks on and two weeks off because of low wbc count. I'm sure your onc will help you get it straightened out.My best to you, Carolyn
