Imitrex is now "generic"! :woohoo: |
|
I picked up my monthly allotment (9 tablets) today and was pleasantly surprised that it only cost $5.00!
When did this happen? :woohoo:

3. Yes, I do, Sorry you had to pay so much. |
|
Shoot....I didn't mean to sound insensitive.... I was just so surprised. I used to use those coupons that came in the mail from Glaxo. Do you ever get them?

Yeah, I've used them but its a drop in the bucket when the price is that high. Both the generic and the imitrex are wildly overpriced. I despise Glaxo- they make millions at the expense of people's pain.

6. Yeah, the pharmaceutical industry is fucked. |
|
Definitely should not be a for-profit industry.

8. Its a for-exorbitant profit industry in Glaxo's case. |

2. Wow, my insurance needs to catch up! I pay $30 copay for the real |

deal, and they tried to charge me $45 copay for the generic! I told 'em to get stuffed and give me the Imitrex. Wonder when BCBS will get with the program already...
