Holy cow! I pay $10 for my Arimidex RX at Kaiser Pharmacy. Yes, that does seem outrageous!! Did you try the other AI's?

I pay $5, but I worked for a medical hospital/clinic entity and it was part of my employment to keep the same medical for ten years. Some companies have programs to help defray the costs of their medicines which might be looked into. And sometimes paying cash rather than going through insurance will cost less.

Yes, I broke out with hives and had some nasty hives from Anastrozole; it seems I had an allergic reaction to it. It also caused some memory loss issues. Tomoxifin also caused memory/cognitive issues. My doctor prescribed Arimidex/Exemestane at my visit this past Tuesday as an alternative to those. But when I went to pick them up at the pharmacy I was charged $175, at my regular Walgreens pharmacy. I did not complete the purchase and am seeking info. on why they are so expensive. I’d rather go back to Tomoxifin and just put up with memory loss and cognitive issues!
