Protonix Games -- I love generics
Those of you who have followed the blug for a long time will remember that periodically I have to play Protonix games with Medco. Well, I'm hoping now they are over....
I have to go through a review process for the drug itself and then a second review process for the amount of drug. The last time I had to go through this was at Christmas. Well, sometime around January 1st, Protonix went generic.
I just got my prescription refill for March ... and guess what, it now has a $20.00 co pay. It took them about a week to process the prescription and they needed up shipping it UPS. And the best thing -- $20.00 co pay.
And I was paying a $100.00 co pay before that. The cost to Medco has gone down dramatically too. They were paying $520.17 and now are paying $274.69
And guess what else. Tablets look exactly the same, they have a Protonix label stamped on them!
