Right before buspar went off patent, 60 15mg tabs (at my uni pharm, which is generally the cheapest around) was
$144
Within a couple of weeks, I got the gneric version. Same script:
$114
A year later:
$ 60
If you are really interested in the true cost of these drugs, compare the cost of the average (non OP) price of any American generic to the price of the same thing at, say, Importedrugs.com.
Then divide that price by 5. That's about how much the pills actually cost in the beginning.
I'm sure someone here could come up with an algebraic equation the masochists could use to figure out the "real" prices of all our meds. That person is not me, however. I scarcely got my bachelor's degree because of the math requirement.
I do want to add two things:
1)I wish I had known that about the hydro before I ordered from NWW. I ordered 650's to save $$$ and now I'm having to go through the PITA of extraction all the time.
2)Brand name drugs do have a reason to charge more for a little while at least, because the co's have paid for all the research, development and (especially) advertising. Generics on the other hand, don't have to do any of that.
