Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 TeriI first started with the two syringes back in 2004. I absolutely hated that because I swear the needle that was going to stick into me was already dull because I had to draw it from a bottle. Then, about 6 mons in, the pens came out!! For me, the pen was bulky, but better because the needle was so small.Now, they package the whole medication together in one syringe (no mixing or playing around). Basically, you just pull the cap off the needle and do the stick. Also, the stuff is still major expensive and I hope that everyone that is waiting for the new meds with the Protease Inhibitor understand that it's going to be that much more expensive!! I know it cost us over $20,000 the first time around and that only because I was not able to file our taxes in time. This last one was a Clinical Trial and has only cost me the price of gas to get back and forth. I've heard figures of up to $40,000 for the new trio...Gloria You've got to be kidding me... are you telling me that the Peg interfuron is not a pen shot anymore? You have to do this with a syringe? OH LORD. That's just dumb.Everything was a pen shot for awhile there.. even my migraine med was a pen shot. I imagine it's cheaper to have it just as a fluid with syringes... that stuff was expensive and I'm sure the packaging had something to do with the price.. but oh man I had no idea.Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
