Has anyone had any experience ordering pegasys/riba from Canada?  I noticed their drugs are much cheaper.  My insurance won't cover it so I'm looking all over for the best price.

You might want to try Commitment to Care in your own country if you are in the U.S.  Perhaps search through the threads for this information or put something like "Commitment to Care contact info please" and people will respond to you.  That is a program run by one of the drug companies and they help people who can't pay for their own drugs.  I have no idea what the guidelines are or anything.  But you might want to try that first.  

Good luck with this.

What is the pharmacy that you got your prescription filled named?  And if you have a website or phone number that would help.  Thanks

In Canada it costs me for ( 2 ) Pegasys rbv 200mg-180, Ribavirin/P-interferon alfa-2a combo pkg.
DIN 2253429... $905.70 plus a 10 dollar dispensing fee.Combo packs are only sold here.
You should be able to find a pharmacy that will fed ex it to you in a cooler.

Hope this helps

Where were you getting your prescriptions?  $1600 is a lot less than what I've found.  Please give me more info.  Thanks

I was tx'ing last year. The monthly cost was around 1600 dollars. 4 once a week preloaded syringes with INF-B and a months worth of Ribavarin caps. I was taking 180 mcg and 3 caps a day. Unfortunately, for me it didn't work but that's the price anyways. lol

Sure, give me the website and costs and thanks.
