Med cost

[OMI100]

Verrry interesting PBS article on med cost.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/july-dec13/generics_12-23.html

Mentioned GoodRX as a site to compare cost.
http://www.goodrx.com/

Also mentioned COSTCO Pharmacy for reasonable cost. Of note is how cheap Anastozal is at Costco. Almost free...

30 1mg at $13.26

Well worth the time to price check other meds.

Goodrx seems to be a great site. I always stayed away from the cvs and rite aid chains thinking they were high cost, but GoodRX showed me that my local Rite Aid is pretty much the cheapest around. Crazy difference in prices from them and the CVS across the street.

I was in the "GENERIC" trap also.... Thinking "generics" would be the same price at all locations. Boy was I wrong... The PBS article was enlightening...https://www.excelmale.com/forum/thr...-medications-in-the-US?highlight=generics+PBS

BTW my understanding is that do not have to be a COSTCO member to use their pharmacy. Not sure if that is for the mail order pharm and the store pharms. Might have some folks that have experience using COSTCO to chime in.
