For your info, the full selling price in France is about 8 (eight) US$ per box of 50...

Thank you Maurice.
I agree with your resoning. I too wonder why the MG Foundation didn't simply create a drug bank for Mytelase so the few people who needed it could still get the medication.
I did speak to the FDA, they would be the ones in charge of allowing the importation. They were very receptive to letting it be imported. The only thing that makes the drug from France illegal is the label. Put a new label on the bottle and it could be sold in the US.
This problem is so simple to fix, we just have to find the right person to help us fix it.
Maurice when you say it is $8 a bottle for fifty, do you mean pills or bottles?
And please keep in touch, we may need your help. I could use an excuse to visit Paris.
