: We have been treating our 2 autistic children with ferring secretin, obtained by prescription following a trip to the U.S.A. Unfortunatly it hasn`t worked for our sons and we have decided to sell the 2 remaining vials at cost price of £150.00 each. we are not making a profit but would like to help someone in a similar position to us. The purchaser will have to collect from our house and find a qualified doctor to administer it ( we have been assisted by dr Pugh at Elstree). If you are interested and live close to North Hampshire/berkshire please leave your e.mail address, first come first served.
It is possible that your supply of secretin may not have worked due to expiration or if it was not kept frozen at some point. Secretin is very temperature sensitive and many patients failed to get positive results because of this.
You never know, maybe your child still has a chance once Repligen-Secretin becomes available.
