Ok so I am looking at the threads and seem some people get whole supply for less than $500/month self pay. all places I find online sell it for $30/1g at least which runs to $1800 /month.
So anyone know where to get it cheaper?

I got powdered Ceftriaxone from my Safeway pharmacy for less than $500/mo (at 1g/day), but that cost doesn't include saline, needles, syringes, and everything else that is needed for IV ceftriaxone use.
You can also try the Costco Pharmacy. I'm not sure what the price is, but I heard it was cheaper than $30/g.
Near me is a compounding pharmacy in Wilsonville, OR called Creative Compounds that sells it cheaper than $30/g. They do ship but I have no idea if you would need to be available for a consultation or if they will even ship out of state.

Hmm I calculate costs based at 4g a day. At your prices its $2k - completely out of my range . So basically I did quick research and cheapest I could find was $50/per 1gx10 with US as shipping option.
But if I somehow get someone to buy in my native country from the local stores 2g would cost ~$1.5 ( that means $90 for whole month) - or even lot less (wholesale prices there is $0.5/2g . There is a problem of shipping it overseas though.
p.s. Damn my whole planned monthly abx regimen would cost under $200 (and under $100 without cef) If I was buying stuff there!
One thing for sure ppl living in US are majorly ripped of price wise.

Dang, Coltman, let's figure out how to get stuff from Russia. It can't be impossible. Maybe we should talk to Pharmacychecker.com about trying to find a source for this med?

Yeah savings makes me think seriously about that. I can easily order stuff to be delivered anywhere inside Russia (Moscow obviously is cheapest since ) and then I am thinking to use some sourt of courrier services. I know DHL/Fedex dont ship drugs, so I am looking for alternatives atm

Infuserve America has good prices here in the US. Its about 900.00 a month for 2g a day medicine, syringes, bandages, saline, all supplies basically, and it includes shipping.
the company apparently ships to lots of lyme patients, and they are very helpful.
Still not as good as prices in Russia or other countries outside US
Apparently, we in US are the last country in the world for drug companies to make their gold mine.
