I'm sure the cost varies from one area to another, but we would have no way of knowing what the cost of this or any other medication would be for people in different locations.
You would need to check the price with whoever would be dispensing that medication to you (pharmacist? clinic? doctor).

I got one implanted in Delhi at Escorts Hospital in 2008. A single lead ICD, Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator capable of pacing and defibrillator (I am not sure if a pacemaker has only one function i.e. pacing) cost me approx Rs 450000 (USD 10000) including surgery. More complicated ones could cost double. In India you can negotiate the cost with representatives of different ICD brands and get a good deal. There are many models of ICDs with different battery life.
The cost of a radio frequency ablation in the United States can run from around $2,000in facilities that only specialise in this procedure to around $3,000 elswhere. It is my understanding that medical procedures in India can be as much as 70% less than the same treatment in the US which would make this procedure the equivalent of between $140 and $210 in India if what I have read is true.
I hope this helps!
If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.” Refer: http://www.propecia.com/finasteride/propecia/consumer/possible-side-effects/
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Is Copaxone available in India? If so, I wonder how much the Copaxone would cost and how much you can you buy at one time and transfer it with you on a plane?
You are right--health care costs are very, very expensive. I spend about $10,000/year on health care (which includes the insurance, medicines, doctor costs, etc.).
Great thread!
t know what to do.. should I try Monday Wednesday Friday propecia? I heard there is a 5mg propecia pill you can take once a week.. can that keep my ED at bay maybe? Can once a week maybe twice propecia keep my hair but my ED away? I don't get why this is happening to me now.. But what if that starts up my ED again.. what if that ruins the recovery I've been making off the pill.. I don't want permanent ED.. I'm only 22.. I don't want to lose my hair either..
Does an ultrasound cost in your city or town. In India it's like Rupees 600-1000.
Usually you can find out things like this from a pharmacist, and it is also helpful to look up the drug's website and perhaps give a call to its 800 number.
My very elderly father (in India) has, as stated by a senior US cardiologist, a high burden of PVCs of a left-ventricular origin that should be controlled and, catheter ablation is an option. He is currently undergoing treatment using anti-arrhythmia drugs but with limited success and, catheter ablation is looking to be a distinct possibility.
If the situation does arise, the wish is for the ablation process to be conducted here in US, possibly California.
I split the pills in half, which is pretty close to the dosage for Propecia. The bottle lasts me two months, and costs me $5 because finasteride is covered on my insurance. I'm 28 years old, soooo....the insurance company DID need my doctor to verify the prescription. But like I said, he is cool :) See if your doc will hook you up the same!
India has several well known companies that manufacture the generic version of Tenofovir and Entecavir, and sell them at a very reasonable price. Wish I have more details.
Thanks for the reply. i am deeply grateful. The generic brands that are readily available in india & vietnam are not as readily available in Nigeria where i live and if available at all, the price will be suffocate an average patient. Somebody mentioned that a weekly dose costs about N96000($600/week) and for a total course of 96 weeks, the cumulative cost will be unbearable for many
Can i get it cheaper at your end.
I attribute my erection problems to the Propecia tablet that I take daily. As you know, Propecia is 1 mg. of finasteride. Propecia has been shown to cause side effects such as erectile problems in a small minority of users. Unfortunately, I appear to be in that small minority. Once my erection problems surfaced, I began looking for a solution. I do not want to stop taking Propecia because it has done wonders for my hair.
