Exclamation Prescription Prices

My wife had to have some migraine medicine filled and allthough the cost to us was $25 for the pack of NINE pills the regular price was $210!

Thats roughly $23 a pill!

What's the most expensive pill you have on your prescriptions?

with this lot, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a pretty good list

though my BIL has diabetes and takes pills, insurance pays but without, it's almost $950 for the three pills for a 3 month prescription...don't have a clue how many he takes a day though.

Would be hard to beat Genentech's plans to charge $100,000 a year for using Avastin for breast and lung cancer.
