Just had a call saying a patient went to pick up their prescription of 60 pills (100 mg. each), a one month supply for a young girl.

For 60 doxy the price was $389.00.

OUCH! OUCH!

I went to pick up my 30 day supply of doxy last week at CVS, they wanted $120 for it.

I told the girl that I had a coupon with GoodRX.com, and it had cost me about $40 the previous month, but she was in a *****y mood and told me to take a hike.

I went home, got on GoodRX.com, printed the coupon out, took it to Walgreens and got it transferred. This one cost me $39.82.

I can price shop each month because I asked my LLMD to write the Rx so that it could be filled with either capsules or tablets, and I can get the cheapest price.

Try GoodRX.com, it will price all pharmacies in your area, give you the best price, and give you a coupon to take to them to get that price.

It's saving me a lot of money, and I don't have to get it from Canada, which costs about the same as I'm paying.
