That sounds just about the same as the pharmacies on the east coast.

You are crazy to pay that much. Extencilline is the powder version of it and I only pay 4 dollars a shot. My first 10 were the Bicillin LA and came from the US but that is financially unsustainable for most.
Lets face it. Most are going to be on in for a long time. I found the Extencilline just as good as the US version. Not to mention it does not need to be chilled so you can travel anywhere with it. It even comes with a 5 ml saline bottle with each dose.
I get mine from a Swiss online Pharmacy and its Roche brand. They ship to the US also. Anyone need the info then just PM me.

I tried to look up the Swiss online pharmacy. I could not find it or any other place to purchase Extencilline. Could you please let me know where i can purchase it in. .

I have medicare and it covers it so far. Co-pay $78 for 10 shots. Insurance may cover especially if the Dr's office injects.

Buying online is actually cheaper than your copay!

Where Coltman? Canada Drugs? There are only so many online pharmacys that I would trust and the powdered form is not something I want to do.

Well If you give such constraints then I dont think you will have much luck. Though I d think Canada should have it cheap as well
There are non powdered forms available here for example but its not canada
