CAn someone direct me to a cheaper pharmacy or med supply house.
I have 2 mg 2x's per day 4 days on 3 off. The cheapest we can find so far is $130 / day, that's just for the meds....!!!
I live in South Louisiana.
Also, what are the good generic brands, i have read in here that all generic rocephin is not created equal. Or can you tell me which generic brands not to use.
thx,
jamie

I use Value-Med in Sounthern California. They can send it in an IV push or send it so you can make it yourself.
I have never used anything else othe then the hospitals so I don't know how to compare.
I know my very good LLMD reccommends them all the time.
They are about around $1000.00 a month with all the supplies with out being pre-mixed.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!

jen, did you check the FEATURE POST on top of medical regarding expenses for iv meds please read it all; i'm sure it covers what you are asking about ... that's why it's up at the top of page.
They provide very cheap Rocephin/saline/given sets etc

Agree with Rianna. Very good to deal with. Also do B12 injections and much more. Very reasonably priced.

I have ordered glutathione from infuserve. They are efficient and friendly. I believe that they charge $25 for 2 grams of IV rocephin (the generic) and it comes in the self deflating ball.

I think 130 is probably cheap. Mine is 235.00 just for the meds.. I am very fortunate I have two insurances.
Good luck

I have negotiated with the original company, and now, they are telling me, it was $70 / day for the meds and $60 / day for the supplies, totalling $130. So, i am ordering the meds thru them, at $35 / 2gms in the IV with powder mix and saline, all you have to do is sqeeze them together to mix.
So, it's a great deal, i just think they were trying to milk me for all they could, but i called their bluff, telling them i would shop around.
So, It's $35 / 2 gms, 2x's / day = $70 per day. I have purchased 2 months of supplies for $200.
These people apparently specalize in lyme treatement, so if anyone want's their info to order, let me know, PM me.
