The best price I've found so far is up to $163.70 for 30 pills (it was $153 and change a few months ago). Anyone see it for cheaper anywhere?

I'm about a week from having to shell out for it again.

The Patient Assistance program did give me 16 tablets and I'm allowed to get 16 more in July, I think. [Roll Eyes]

Thanks for any leads...

hey trueblue,

I think I paid 150.00 for thirty.

I was wondering if this is pparx.org that you got 16 tablets from.

I recently went there for help with zithromax and to my understanding they will send three month supply after I get Dr. to sign forms and send rx.

I sure hope this doesn't turn out like the help you got. Although any help is great, the generic azithromycin is $7.50 a pill I have put off taking it until I find out if pfizer will let me have some.

I hope you can get the meds you need. I pray that we all get what we need to get over this learning experience.

Hope you do well.

Hi mississippi [hi]

The 16 pills came from Bridges to Access (GSK). They also have Mepron and that has no quantity limit.

(and any help is something; I do appreciate that they saved me $60, I paid $10 for the first 16 pills. They told me at the outset it would be covered and then weeks later sprung the 16 pill thing on me. They told my doctor's office it would be covered long term, as well.)

Good Luck with Pfizer.
I have gotten Zith from then in the past but not recently. Could you let me know if it works out for you? I'd reapply if it was a possiblilty again. I'm taking Amoxy because I can afford it. (I'm supposed to be on Zith as well but can't pay for that and the Malarone.)

One more question and then I'll stop being pesty. Is it possible to find out where you got the Malarone for $150? My pharmacy will usually meet others' prices, so, I could conceivably convince them they should be charging me that. Heh, it never hurts to ask, right? And $15 is $15, right?

Thanks for responding Sherry and I hope there's free Zith coming your way. Good luck!

Hi again,

Sure, it was Walgreen's, that was the only pharmacy who had it where I live.

Thanks for the luck, and I hope you have luck as well.

Thanks Sherry!
I'll give them a call. They're usally more but it can't hurt to ask. I'm gonna call right now actually.
