EDMONTON A prominent Edmonton fertility doctor is under scrutiny for profiting off the drugs he prescribed. Former patients of Dr. Tarek Motan at the Regional Fertility & Women’s Endocrine Clinic within the Royal Alexandra Hospital’s Lois Hole Hospital for Women are being contacted about the conflict of interest. Patients who saw Dr. Motan from August 2015 to November 2017 began receiving letters in the mail last week. CTV News Edmonton obtained a copy of the letter from an affected patient. In it, Motan admits to having a “financial rebate arrangement” with three pharmaceutical companies. Motan would pay for fertility drugs such as Gonal-f, Puregon, and Menopur that were then dispensed and sold to patients attending Glengarry Pharmacy. Patients were instructed by Dr. Motan to specifically go to this pharmacy.
