for Wilson's Disease Patients

Return to Dr. Stall's Wilson's Disease web page

May, 2000 note from Thomas Dietrich of Gate Pharmaceuticals, manufacturer of Galzin® (zinc acetate):

"I just got off the phone with William Gunnarsson, President of Orphan Europe. We talked about the WDA meeting and I shared with him the frustration that the members had about obtaining Galzin® in Europe. After our discussion we came up with the following procedure [contacts throughout Europe].

If, when you call, the person who answers the phone is not familiar with Galzin®, then ask to speak to the Medical Director. Also, remember to use 011 before each contact number when calling from the USA.

If a patient still has problems obtaining GALZIN® (zinc acetate) after contacting the organizations above, please contact me as described below."
