Does anyone know of a reputable source for buying Mepron online for less? I just paid $1054 at Costco. My insurance is catastrophic so it will not cover it.

Oh my goodness!!! Is that for just 1 month?
Maybe switch insurance coverage so you can have major medical (you can switch mid-term). And at some future date switch back to catastrophic. Just a thought.
Take care, Tammy

They won't take you if you have a pre-existing condition. They make a rider against it. This company will not cover me for anything connected to my head because I had migraines! I hate insurance companies. It costs us over $700 a month for nothing. The deductable is 10K for each of us.
In addition to my illness my 22 year old son, who is still insured with us, was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Just got another bill today that I have not opened.
But we can pay it luckily. I got a small inheritance last year so we are really fortunate. Some people aren't.

yikes. That sucks!!! I'd check pharmacychecker.com - I found some Canadian sources that were cheaper than that via that site (i didn't buy them, they were still out of my price range, but some ANGELS from Lymenet and elsewhere sent me enough of their leftover Mepron that I managed to beat down babesia).
Mepron isn't generic yet, so you'll still have to pay a lot, but I think it's about half of what you reported paying at Costco.
Good luck, it's so insanely expensive, but one of the better babesia options as far as side effects.

I have used this company for 4 years and have had very good service.

Thanks so much!! I checked out pharmacychecker but was not sure which companies to trust so it helps to know that someone has used a company with good results.
That is a great price.

We use Wallgreens. They have a an annual plan ($25/yr) and I think the Mepron is around $800 / month (2 bottles) under it.

Generally, if they're on pharmacychecker, it's a good sign.
