My doctor recommended ordering from Canada drug company. You save a lot and you talk to several companies to get the best price. I take a drug that is in US Parma us for $650 a month. In the Canadian group it is $124 for 3 months plus postage. It takes more than 4 weeks to receive because in my case it is Phzier so you have to plan a head. But it is worth it $124 for 3 months as versa $1900 for 3 months.

What is the name of this drug?
I take gabapentin twice a day a duloxitine once a day. I get more relief from the duloxitine but both help. I use a mail order through my insurance and get both for three months for very low cost.

Gabapentin s not that an expensive drug at least with my Anthem RX and Medicare. But who knows. The world is changing so fast. I order expensive drugs from Canada health United but there are several and they deal on the price they offer you. I order 3 months supply for $124. It takes 4 to six weeks to arrive. At a pharmacy here in US it is $1900 for 3 months.
My out of pocket for the year before insurance kicks in was $250. Now they have raised it to $480 for the year out of my pocket before insurance kicks in. Thanks to Obama care. Research it and you will see. If you find any other alternatives please share with me. I have not been offered the other drug you mentioned could you give me information about that duloxitine. Thank you for any help You can give.

I received an Rx for it but found it was going to be too expensive. I have money to spend but it was ridiculous! It’s the same drug, just in a time release capsule.

Then order it from a Canadian drug company. Call several to get the best price. Google it.

Is your neuropathy bad. Gabapentin makes my legs swell and stomach burn.

I still don’t understand. What is the name of the medication you order from Canada? My costs are quite reasonable right here in the US.

Mine are reasonable also. If you are ever prescribed a medication that isn’t reasonable you might call a Canadian pharmacy. Good luck.
