That info is from the website drugs.com and it explicitly states it’s the price for cash paying customers, and not valid with insurance. I also don’t personally think this is appropriate for the sub.
He’ll save money if he buys them in packs of 30 though /s
This system
Shame he doesn’t live in Australia. https://m.pbs.gov.au/medicine/item/5828R.html
The link is for promacta, same manufacturer just a different name.
$42.50AUD for a 28 pack.
That’s currently about USD $30.50.
No insurance necessary.
$41.50 in Australia for 28 tablets.
I’m sorry 😱
Unless theyre made of caviar and pressed with gold leaf, there’s no pill on earth that’s worth that much. Nothing more than capitalist greed at the expense of lives.
America is fucked and idiots will fight against universal mecial aid.
It’s so ridiculous that the US’s for profit healthcare system is so unaffordable. It’s so pointless and upsetting knowing the US is the only first world developed country that doesn’t have universal healthcare.
God bless America
Ahhhh America
Has he tried dying?
Well I know what MY choice would be if I had to pay that just to live….
Only person getting paid would be my beneficiary lol.
Tell your dad to check out https://costplusdrugs.com/ It’s a new pharmacy created by a doctor and Mark Cuban to lower drug prices.
Aaahhhh….the Land of the free 🙂
The same amount of pills costs 4,60€ where im from. Thats fucked up.
Im sorry for your dad tho. Good luck to him.
Sorry bud I know the pharmaceutical industry is a joke. I worked as a pharmacy insurance specialist so I may be able to help. Unfortunately if he has Medicare, it’ll be tough. But if he has commercial insurance he should qualify for a copay card. I’m assuming he has Medicare though. There are grants and funds available but lot of them require income no higher than 150-200% of poverty line for the household.
Just bein straight up cause we all know our system here is fucked.. it would literally be cheaper for him to go to Mexico pay cash and bring it back with him 6 months or a year at a time
America moment
Go to Canada and buy your meds there.
Would be about a tenner a month in the UK on a repeat prescription card. That’s insane, wtf USA ??
Literally killing the poor to keep millionaire and billionaires rich.
I’m gonna set up a drugs import operation of legal drugs 😅😅 seems to be better money than illegal ones
Assuming you live in the U.S, I hope this’ll lead you to a better source of medication (<$500)

My dad’s oral chemo pills are $20k a month. Fortunately, he got a grant from the hospital or something and it’s covered.
This shit is out of control.
£9.35 for a box of them in the UK. Free if you’re exempt from paying for prescriptions (under 16, over 60, in full time education or pregnant)
Hey, u/opalush maybe not as good as other deals but a short trip to Mexico could get you some Revolade:
>[28 units at 653.62 US dollars](https://www.farmaciasanpablo.com.mx/medicamentos/especialidades-medicas/q—r/revolade-28-tabletas-caja/p/000000000030070024) This turns into 23.34 dollars the unit.
or

It would be fairly cheaper to travel to Mexico for a fun trip, get the stuff and get back.
[This guy ain’t kidding.](https://www.goodrx.com/promacta)
$10K to $17K per bottle.
Only in America
I don’t understand how this isn’t extortion. They’re literally saying, “Pay us $76,000/yr. or die.”
Damn, 3rd world country.
Lol… my dad takes pills that cost 8000€ a box, and it’s entirely free thanks to public healthcare
America, FUCK YEAHHHH!
