Medication Costs

Fri, 08/18/2006 - 11:54
Having recently lost medical insurance I am in somewhat of a quandry, trying to obtain anti-seizure medications - my monthly out-of-pocket will be over $1,800 (fortunately I have a "stockpile" for about another 2 - 3 months). The Canadian cost is much lower (approx $500/mo)but still hurts the pocket book - particularly since I'm on eight meds. Has anyone used Canada and what is your opinion of the quality of the medication (I know there's a +/- factor of up to 10%)? Also has anyone qualified for the PAPs? GSK is very tight and I'm still waiting on Pharma. Suggestions / experiences / advice/ ideas all welcomed Thanks in advance
