Worth Looking At - Significant Discount Pricing On Prescription Medication

Jo C.

Off comes my Peer Volunteer hat.  

While I am NOT personally recommending this, I wanted to share a bit of interesting  news you may want to take a look at as I know from so many Postings written by Members that prescription costs have been a significant problem for many.

Billionaire Mark Cuban has been a critic of the extreme profit driven markup for prescription medications.  He has started a discount pharmacy and the discounted savings appear to be huge.  He states that pricing is set at the actual cost of each medication plus 15%.

It was was stunning for me to see pricing differences when doing average price comparisons that have been included on the actual prescription website for the meds they carry.

NOTE:  Though all seems to be valid, I suggest before venturing to use this pharmacy that you to first speak to your physician and perhaps even with your pharmacist.

Thank you Jo. But they don't carry what I need.

There is an app you can download on your phone it is called Good Rx. You can look up the medication you need and it will give you the list of places that have it and the price. The price for Cipro was around $15 in Safeway, Harris Teeter and other pharmacies in my area. You may want to call them beforehand to confirm the price, just tell them you are using Good Rx.
