anyone get meds from canada?need lipitor and it's like a 1/3 the price!

No but it's easy to get a 50% discount. Get 2x the strength and cut them in 1/2. Been doing that for years.......

most Dr's will do that...if you ask

Why not switch to an alternative statin drug that is available as a generic such as zocor, mevacor, or pravachol. All are on the $4 dollar list. But I believe Lipitor will be going generic in the near future.

$4 list????

Maybe cause lipitor Helps Prevent Reformation of Plague. Also i have Drug insurance, And the others cant compare To Lipitor. Danger Boy if you are trying to Lower Choletrol Get ZETIA it wacked mine in Half in 45 days, also the Combo Statin with Zetia Ans A statin are as good My #s are 67/32. iknow my Good is bad and on Fish oil . And i go to One of The Best Cardiac Hospital in the Country Brigham & Womens in Boston. And Doctor Fred REsnic is Good. I belvieve in what He says.

The combination product is called Vytorin, it consist of zetia and zocor. It will still cost you a brand name copay and may even have to be prior authorized by the insurance. I deal with this on a daily basis. No one can say for sure which statin is the best, b/c it truely depends on the individual. It depends on which study you look at. Crestor & Lipitor have the least amount of issues causing muscle pain. But if cost is an issue any of the other will be okay.

capri man, there is a list of over 300 commonly used medications that walmart offers a month supply for $4.00. I own 2 independent pharmacies and we honor walmart's list plus many others for $4 for a month supply(or 90 day supply for $10). Ask your local independent pharmacy about this offer. Walgreens, CVS and others charge a monthly or yearly fee for these medications.

Please support your local independent pharmacies; many times you will be shocked at how much cheaper they offer medications than retail pharmacies.

Amen to that. If you have a $5 copay see what happens at the big boys if the drugs are under $5. Bingo! They rip you for the full $5. It's not a lot of coin but, I consider it theft. At my local druggist if the medication is $3.75 that's what I pay.

After My #s were down we Tried the Vytorin deal Numbers went up.As Doc said you dont know What Mg Of Statin, and what Mg Of ZETIA is In The Combo. iaked if we good or drop any meds He SAid

Thats funny you say that b/c the mg of the statin and zetia are on the bottle (i.e. vytorin 10/40) 10 mg of zetia/ 40mg of zocor. I wouldn't want to go to any doctor that doesn't know the strengths of medications.
