    How was it established that this company has the lowest prices Tom?

    For all drugs? Only certain kinds?

    I saw on the News last week that Fischel has the lowest rates.

    It has been my personal experience that Fischel always has the HIGHEST prices…

    Recent example from 20th June 2012

    Calcort 6mg X 10 = 11,608 in Fischel
    Calcort 6mg X 10 = 9,817 in Farmacia Sucre

    Difference?

    1,791 colones ($3.63) which means 18% more expensive in Fischel…

    Well, I will just check it out for you. I recently started on a new program where the doctor wants me to take only brand name drugs. The monthly cost is around $300 per month. I have checked prices here, Canada and the US to find that our little local place here in Atenas had the best prices. Will run a comparison and let you know. Based on the amount I spend each month, this is very important to me.

    I did the comparison, and the company Tom mentioned did have some very good pricing. As I stated before, the place we are now using has excellent prices. Based on the quote Tom’s pharmacy gave me they are about $200 per year less money. And, if I apply the discount cards the doctor gave me, it will be closer to $400 less. All of this is based on the pills listed below:

    Bonaviva 150 mg
    Hiperlipen 100 mg
    Benicar HCT 20/12.5 mg
    Nebilet 5 mg

    Caltrate D
    Cardiosprina 81 mg

    Vytorin 10/40mg

    Hope this helps.
