Re: Need Medication.....but no insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

i'm not sure where you are from, but if you have AAA auto club card,

you are eligible for a discount on rx's. levoxyl is on the cheaper

side, and the AAA can give you up to maybe 20% off. i recently started

working as a pharmacy technician, and i see so many people come

through with no insurance who have no idea about this discount, so i

figured i'd mention it here. good luck!

Hi,

There are a few on-line pharmacies that will fill your prescription,

so long as they have a faxed copy of your script. There are also a

few on-line companies that will sell you various generic versions of

various drugs, including the generic of Levoxyl.

?Where do you live, what country?

Hello,

I remember reading someone needed meds and didn't have

insurance. In my Hasimoto research, I found a

website/organization that supplies patients with much

needed drugs for free...apparently many of the name

brand pharmaceutical makers that fabricate thyroid

medications are a part of this program. You might

want to check it out. I haven't used it myself, so I

dodn't know if it's any good or not, but it may be

worth a look. Good luck....

thats a tricky one. i dont handle much of the billing, but from what

i have seen (at least at the pharmacy i work for, which is a chain),

we dont combine insurance with a discount such as the AAA. i'm not

sure about using a double discount though. but i can tell you that

next time you go in, ask them to update your record and add the AAA

information. what we do is see which of the insurance and or

discounts is cheapest (i have seen some people who have 5 or 6

different ones in their record. i have also seen a few cases where

it was actually cheaper to buy the drug with the discount rather

than their insurance co-pay). i personally feel that you should be

able to combine them. i work on saturday, and i will ask around and

see about it.

COSTCO, read this

Let's hear it for Costco!! (This is just mind-boggling!) Make sure

you read all the way past the list of the drugs. The woman that

signed below is a Budget Analyst out of federal Washington, DC

offices.

Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active

ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must

cost a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We

did a search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the

active ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA. As we have

revealed in past issues of Life Extension, a significant percentage

of drugs sold in the United States contain active ingredients made

in other countries. In our independent investigation of how much

profit drug companies really make,

we obtained the actual price of active ingredients used in some of

the most popular drugs sold in America.

The data below speaks for itself.

Celebrex: 100 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $130.27

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.60

Percent markup: 21,712%

Claritin: 10 mg

Consumer Price (100 tablets): $215.17

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.71

Percent markup: 30,306%

Keflex: 250 mg

Consumer Price (100 tablets): $157.39

Cost of general active ingredients: $1.88

Percent markup: 8,372%

Lipitor: 20 mg

Consumer Price (100 tablets): $272.37

Cost of general active ingredients: $5.80

Percent markup: 4,696%

Norvasc: 10 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $188.29

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.14

Percent markup: 134,493%

Paxil: 20 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $220.27

Cost of general active ingredients: $7.60

Percent markup: 2,898%

Prevacid: 30 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $44.77

Cost of general active ingredients: $1.01

Percent markup: 34,136%

Prilosec: 20 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $360.97

Cost of general active ingredients $0.52

Percent markup: 69,417%

Prozac: 20 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets) : $247.47

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.11

Percent markup: 224,973%

Tenormin: 50 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $104.47

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.13

Percent markup: 80,362%

Vasotec: 10 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $102.37

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.20

Percent markup: 51,185%

Xanax: 1 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets) : $136.79

Cost of general active ingredients: $0.024

Percent markup: 569,958%

Zestril: 20 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets) $89.89

Cost of general active ingredients $3.20

Percent markup: 2,809

Zithromax: 600 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $1,482.19

Cost of general active ingredients: $18.78

Percent markup: 7,892%

Zocor: 40 mg

Consumer price (100 tablets): $350.27

Cost of general active ingredients: $8.63

Percent markup: 4,059%

Zoloft: 50 mg

Consumer price: $206.87

Cost of general active ingredients: $1.75

Percent markup: 11,821%

Since the cost of prescription drugs is so outrageous, I thought

everyone should know about this. Please read the following and pass

it on. It pays to shop around. This helps to solve the mystery as

to why they can afford to put a Walgreen's on every corner. On

Monday night, Steve , an investigative reporter for Channel 7

News in Detroit, did a story on generic drug price gouging by

pharmacies. He found in his investigation, that some of these

generic drugs were marked up as much as 3,000% or more. Yes, that's

not a typo.....three thousand percent! So often, we blame the drug

companies for the high cost of drugs, and usually rightfully so. But

in this case, the fault clearly lies with the pharmacies themselves.

For example, if you had to buy a prescription drug, and bought the

name brand, you might pay $100 for 100 pills. The pharmacist might

tell you that if you get the generic equivalent, they would only

cost $80, making you think you are " saving " $20. What the pharmacist

is not telling you is that those 100 generic pills may have only

cost him $10!

At the end of the report, one of the anchors asked Mr.

whether or not there were any pharmacies that did not adhere to this

practice, and he said that Costco consistently charged little over

their cost for the generic drugs.

I went to the Costco site, where you can look up any drug, and get

its online price. It says that the in-store prices are consistent

with the online prices. I was appalled. Just to give you one example

from my own experience, I had to use the drug, Compazine, which

helps prevent nausea in chemo patients.

I used the generic equivalent, which cost $54.99 for 60 pills at

CVS. I checked the price at Costco, and I could have bought 100

pills for $19.89. For 145 of my pain pills, I paid $72.57. I could

have got 150 at Costco for $28.08.

I would like to mention, that although Costco is a " membership " type

store, you do NOT have to be a member to buy prescriptions there, as

it is a federally regulated substance. You just tell them at the

door that you wish to use the pharmacy, and they will let you in.

(this is true)

I went there this past Thursday and asked them. I am asking each of

you to please help me by copying this letter, and passing it into

your own e-mail, and send it to everyone you know with an e-mail

address.

pharmacies. He found in his investigation, that some of these

generic drugs were marked up as much as 3,000% or more. Yes, that's

not a typo.....three thousand percent! So often, we blame the drug

companies for the high cost of drugs, and usually rightfully so. But

in this case, the fault clearly lies with the pharmacies themselves.

For example, if you had to buy a prescription drug, and bought the

name brand, you might pay $100 for 100 pills. The pharmacist might

tell you that if you get the generic equivalent, they would only

cost $80, making you think you are " saving " $20. What the pharmacist

is not telling you is that those 100 generic pills may have only

cost him $10!

At the end of the report, one of the anchors asked Mr.

whether or not there were any pharmacies that did not adhere to this

practice, and he said that Costco consistently charged little over

their cost for the generic drugs.

I went to the Costco site, where you can look up any drug, and get

its online price. It says that the in-store prices are consistent

with the online prices. I was appalled. Just to give you one example

from my own experience, I had to use the drug, Compazine, which

helps prevent nausea in chemo patients.

I used the generic equivalent, which cost $54.99 for 60 pills at

CVS. I checked the price at Costco, and I could have bought 100

pills for $19.89. For 145 of my pain pills, I paid $72.57. I could

have got 150 at Costco for $28.08.

I would like to mention, that although Costco is a " membership " type

store, you do NOT have to be a member to buy prescriptions there, as

it is a federally regulated substance. You just tell them at the

door that you wish to use the pharmacy, and they will let you in.

(this is true)

I went there this past Thursday and asked them. I am asking each of

you to please help me by copying this letter, and passing it into

your own e-mail, and send it to everyone you know with an e-mail

address.

Unvelievable.......are these price markups legal?

All this time i've been paying so much for my meds and Costco has

them for less? This makes me so angry. I can't wait to go to Costco

on Saturday.

Thanks for the great information

The biggest difference between drugs in Canada and Drugs in the

states is that in Canada it is illegal to mark up the drups.

In Canada you pay the cost of the medication plus a dispensing fee..

Where I work the dispensing fee is $8.25 but generally ranges

anywhere from $7-9 ..and they wonder why the americans run to the

border for the medication..

Although the mark up list is a little bias as it only includes the

raw cost of material..there is shipping, cost of operating

manufactuering plants including employees..distribution etc. All

this means is the mark up is not that bad but then 3000% reduced to

1500% is still outrageous.
