Frickin' oxycontin is almost that much. the buffered, sustained release formulation keeps a slow steady dose going into your system vs riding the rollercoaster of the immediate release formulation the dipshits like to crush up then snort or shoot up with. But the buffered costs twice as much.

Never heard of that. But the VA had me taking 20mg of Morphine 3 times a day for my back and knee.For quite awhile.
I need to get back for another cortisone shot in my knee. It's getting bad again. Even with my brace on. I'm off the pain killers now. Just tuffing it out. But it really sucks at times! |

Medicine in America is expensive.
I have eye drops, three little bottles, each last less than a week. And that Rx is $600.00. I have Rosacea of the left eyelid. |

The national governments so they have enormous bargaining power scheduling pharmaceuticals available for sale. Capitalism works both ways. 
Don't worry though some idiot is gonna say such prices are what they subsidise. But its BS

Tore some cartilage in my knee the other day and the doc said it works good until they can get in there and fix it. I can't believe something like that can cost so much and thank God for insurance. It's called GPI-107. For $1100 a bottle you'd think they could at least come up with a cool name for it. Anybody ever used this stuff? post picture of the bottle. |

I still have like 10oz sitting in my dresser.  The 12oz tube's retail cost was well over $400.

It sounds like he's prescribed some kind of compound for you. A lot of these compounding pharmacies are making big bucks on this stuff because insurance will pay for it.
The good part is that most of this stuff works pretty well for new pain. |

Also, it's expensive because of all the ingredients they put into it. It probably has local anesthetic, probably something to cool off irritated nerves, probably an NSAID, and may even have a small amount of ketamine in it.
The package it came in should have a list of ingredients OP. Post a pic. |

It'll probably feel awesome. I got some compounded cream one time that had a pain killer, muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory, steroid etc. in it. I rubbed that shit on anything that hurt including my back, it was GREAT. It makes your fingers numb some though, so it's better to wear gloves when applying it. |

Yup, that's something that the pharmacy compounded. Used to do that kind of shit all the time when I worked in a hospital. You're not just paying for the drugs, you're also paying for the time it takes a technician to gather up and mix the meds, and a pharmacist to check/supervise said admixture. Amitriptyline is used for neuropathy, cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer, baclofen is an antispasmodic, diclofenac is a painkiller, Lipoderm Activemax is the base of the mixture, and ethoxydiglycol is a solvent. Did I miss anything?

I have something similar. Lotion with 8 different meds compounded. 2 each, neuropathic painkillers, 2 narcotic pain killers, 2 NSAIDs, and 2 muscle relaxers. 1800 bucks a bottle, 120 or 160 gms I think. 2g 3-4 times a day means it lasts about 3 weeks. Biggest thing for me is the neuropathy. Even oral neurontin doesn't touch it and lyrica and others are not on our formulary.

Compounds are expensive but they work. The active ingredients aren't the cost driver it is the medium that profuse the drugs through the tissue layers. Not to say some of the $3k+ reimbursements I have seen make much sense but insurance corps set their allowables so take it while you can.

It was going to cost way more than I intended to pay. Instead, I bought some ibuprofen topical cream from overseas and rubbed that on and it was fine. |
