CVS billed my Health Plan $10,837.21 for thirty days. I have a $50 copay. more expensive than Zytiga.

Just thought you would be interested.

I’ve been told that my monthly bill for XTANDI will be $65. I’ll be getting my 1st prescription in a week or so.

Zytiga is now available as a generic which has put some pricing pressure on both Xtandi and Zytiga...

Big Pharma sells their products all over the world. They change the names and the prices to fit the circumstances..We, of course, pay the most..

Of course, the Health Plan pays CVS way less.

And CVS gets it from a distributor for much less than that.. It's a Racket.... And we haven't even started to talk about the "Special Pharmacies" that bypass the distributor and retail storefront pharmacies altogether..
