Hi Liz:
When my Pharmacist called to tell me about the Lente she said that
the Lantus was about $50 and then the price of NPH. I didn't care about either price since I was peed off that I was losing my Insulin. Plus my drugs are covered by my Hubbies work so price didn't matter to me. Since you
mentioned that Lantus was about $80, I was surprised so I called 3
different Pharmacies(mine included) to find out what it costs here in our
Province. Results of Pharmacy: 1. -- $61.70 , 2. -- $64.65, 3. -- $77.62. I am not saying any of these are the highest or lowest. I can call 3 other Pharmacies and get 3 other different prices.
Deberoo's Lantus wouldn't be covered yet because she is on Disability. They have a big book with all the drugs that the Govmnt pays for. Lantus
isn't on the list yet because you know how slow the Govmnt works. I would
hope it would be covered within 6 mths. Meanwhile her Doc is trying to make a special case for her because she really needs it and is sending a form of compassion to the Ministry. That is my understanding. She can correct me if I am mistaken.
I'm very glad that Lantus is working out well for you...that gives me some hope. I've just seen the opposite for some people from this Forum and other
sites. I just hope it works for me.
