lipitor cost per month

I have just started on Lipitor for what has been determined to be a genetic predisposition to High Cholesterol level. The physician wishes that I be maintained on 10 mgs. daily. However the Rx. was written for 40 mgs, to take one half tablet every second day(since the cost of procuring the 40 mg tablet is significantly lower). Will taking 20 mgs every second day give me the same benefit of 10 mgs daily. Or, is it best to take the medication daily as oppose to every second day.

Oh I think mine was per month though not per three months. The doc would write the script for 3 months worth but they'd only give me one month at a time, so 40 a month.

Interesting! My insurance policy give me a cost reduction for simvastatin with the exclusion of Lipitor. My doctor wanted me on Lipitor; this occurred about 6 months ago. Hope it works out for you. Take care.

I contacted my insurance company today to ask about the price of the meds for triple treatment. A 3 month supply of interferon, ribavirin, & Victrelis would cost $180.00 (so about $60 a month) I thought it was going to be a lot higher. But I forgot to ask about "rescue drugs". Not sure how that works and how much that would be. Any one have an idea?

I went from Plavix 75 mg, lipitor 80 mg, lotrel 2o/10, aspirin, zolotf, etc etc. at a cost of $4500 per year. It took just over a year I now only take, lipitor 10mg, lotrel 2,5/5. aspirin. cost $400 per year. (Not Bad for a palcebo effect). I have my cholesterol under 150 ldl under 70 hdl 60 .Blood pressure before my run this morning 109/59 pulse 44.

With only 10 to 30 grams of Sovaldi needed for successful treatment, the difference from the $30 production cost for Gilead’s full course of treatment—30 grams x $1.00 per gram—to $84,000 for the 12-week treatment program represents a retail markup of 279,000%.) Weinstein’s letter to state Medicaid directors also reminds them that, “Gilead did not pay to research and develop Sovaldi. In 2011, it purchased Pharmasset, the company that had already developed the drug, for $11 billion in cash.

In my non-expert opinion, 10-12 oz of liquor per day (plus 2 beers) would be enough to raise your enzymes. Adding Lipitor to the mix would possibly aggravate it. I'll bet that if you stayed off the alcohol for 30 days, you would see an improvement. I drank too much for too long, but never had raised enzymes on a bloodwork because I always stopped drinking 2-3 weeks before a scheduled blood test.

I am 25 male and been on lipitor 20mg for almost 2 months. No side effects.

i pay 300 per month in copays for treatment. Each injectable is 100 per month and I'm on 3. 700 is pretty steep but that's the way things are going in healthcare. A year ago my co pay on neupogen was 45 a month.

My doctor tried several other replacements but all brought on anxiety until I tried Lipitor. I have been on Lipitor since then and it has been working quite well. My medical insurance company stopped covering Lipitor and my doctor has been trying to find a suitable replacement. First, I was prescribed Pravacol which brought on a strong anxiety attack after taking it for 3 days. I was then given Crestor.

Our doctor switched my 57-year old husband from 20 mg Zocor to 10 mg Lipitor in Dec. 2011 due to elevated LDL particles. He also takes Dutroprol 100/12.5 and 40 mg Benicar for BP, 81 mg Aspirin, and 2000 mg Metformin for Insulin Resistance. He currently weights 260 lbs. at 6' tall, down from 275, and he's continuing to lose weight by following a lower carb diet and exercising. Seven months after starting Lipitor, his GGTP tested high at 87.

I was percribed Lipitor, 40mg. I have been breaking them in half and now see you should not do that. I can not swollow pills and dissolve most in my mouth with water. Why can't I do that with the lipitor? I have been trying to swollow them but by the time I get them down they are pretty much dissoved. I can't find an answer on line.

s great to hear that you will be getting Baclofen free too. Worst-case scenario, though, that will cost only $4 per month? Wow. Go buy a lottery ticket today!

Hello! Clomid is relatively inexpensive. I think it's about $60 or so per month. The HSG shot is also $60 or so. IUI should cost ~$300.00. The other costs will be associated with blood tests and ultrasounds, though somehow my RE billed all that through insurance under PCOS. It started costing me quite a bit of money when I did an injectible cycle. That was a flat rate of $1300, plus $300 for the IUI, plus another $1200 or so for the medication. Ouch.

I just got the letter from Novartis about my share-of-cost for the oral drug Gilenya. I was astonished to see that they expect me to pay $150 per month. This amount is probably a result of what they negotiated with the insurance company, but I have good insurance and can't believe this is the best they can come up with. My neuro has a good reason for putting me on this drug versus going on the interferons and I'd hate to think I can't go on this because of cost.

The Lipitor will cost me $130/mo., the Lovastatin will cost $5/mo. Aside from the obvious cost difference, which RX is better? The bottom line is that I really do not want to take a statin at all BUT if I have to take one, I want to take what will work the best at lowering my LDL levels. Also, if I've been taking a statin for a few months, can I just stop taking it? What happens if I stop?

A box of statins a month must cost much much less than angioplasty or bypass surgery, so it makes sense in many ways.

Now before I shout out the numbers, I have been on Lipitor since I was 13. My first reading was 299. I quickly turned that around. I am now 22 years old, I did lower my cholesterol over the past couple years. Money got tight and I dont have health insurance anymore. I stopped taking my meds in May of 2009. So I have had ample amount of time to "lounge" around and do nothing. I had a job physical today and my cholesterol was checked for the first time in 2 years. The reading was 414.

I was told by my gastro-enterologist that the cost would be 30K per month for 12 weeks = $90,000. His office and the company that makes it are working on the supplemental insurance I need to pay for it, and I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing about it... maybe will head for the SOcial Security office again to ask them... I have the same question as you about the co-pay.

The doctor then asked about my lipitor. She told me that lipitor has a bad side effect that can permanently damage muscles in your body, that can lead to kidney failure. I'm not saying Lipitor is bad. It does have this side effect that can effect a small amount of people. However, I without a doubt, feel as if this is my problem. Lipitor and Trazodone have combined to almost stop me in my tracks. I realize that some people may not like the talking about lipitor in this way.

You will definitely need to contact the company for financial help, because unless you are quite wealthy- you can't afford to pay cash. You also can't purchase just one u=injection. My pharmacy paperwork said that one month cost $4300 this time. I've seen it as low as $3800. With insurance, I paid $35.00- at least until they change the insurance coverage. There are programs available out there. One place to look is www.needymeds.com.
