~~ POLL .. what med are you on and how much does it cost a month?

by ChitChatNine, Jun 25, 2007 08:01AM
I am on Synthroid name brand and it is aprox. $4.50 .. it is cheaper for me to pay outside of my insurance .. insurance would cost me $10.00 flat fee for it .. Walgreens has some kind of nat'l contract I  *think* with the med?

cheryl, I am not on replacement thyroid hormones yet...but I sure wish all the other meds I am on were as cheap as the synthroid seems to be....even with co-pays my meds cost me on average $150 a month...I know if I had no insurance it would be astronomical...one of the migraine scripts is $540 if I had no insurance...ridiculous! what are the drug companies thinking?

Levothyroxine 125 mcg and it is $10/mth w/ins.  On my ins if the med is less than $10 you only pay the cost of it and not more, sometimes even a dollar or so less.

I'm on cytomel $25.00 and with other med's I have to take it cost around $75.00 a month total..My doc gave me samples for a 4 wk supply of Synthroid 175mcg for after my RAI.....

I am on name brand synthroid and it costs around $22 dollars and change for this dose (it was cheaper with lower doses).  That is with insurance and I'm paying roughly 60-70%.  It would be free if I used the generic but I prefer to stick to the brand name.  I think I pay a % instead of a $20 or $30 copay because my doctor writes "brand necessary" on the script.
