Treatment Costs
Lorenzo's oil costs approximately US $440 for a month's treatment.
In the U.S., Lorenzo's Oil is currently only available to patients taking part in a clinical trial under the direction of the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Thus, Lorenzo's Oil can only be obtained through prescription by Kennedy Krieger Institute authorized physicians. A 500ml bottle costs approximately $56.00. Some insurance companies will provide coverage for the oil, but others do not because it is still considered an experimental drug by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Famous quotes containing the words treatment and/or costs:
“I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts.... The question “Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?” should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one; so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
