Abiraterone Zytiga Major Price Jump! $$$$

[Spyder54]

just went to renew my monthly prescription of Abby Rader Rowan, and was told it had jumped from 160 per month to $1600 per month. Went to good RX and all the prices have quintupled or sextupled. Anyone have a clue why? Anyone know a better source for those of us on Medicare and supplemental health? Thanks, Mike.

Abiraterone/Zytiga

[treedown]

Were you getting Zytiga (name brand) or generic?

[Spyder54 in reply to treedown]

Generic Abiraterone

[treedown in reply to Spyder54]

Are you taking a full dose of 4 tablets? Maybe a good time to discuss with Dr taking 1 with food.

[PCaWarrior]

$120 a month through costplusdrugs.com/

I have used them with consent of my MO. U.S. regulated.

[fireandice123]

For me Goodrx is still showing Abiraterone for as low as $138/month

[Spyder54 in reply to fireandice123]

Only one location. Wiin-Dixie, and they are going out of business and will not order

Somethings wrong, Im showing $13,715 at Sam's Club, and $125.36 at Ride Aid Drugs

[Cactus297 in reply to Hidden]

I think it said on the news today that Rite Aid is filing bankruptcy but I could be wrong

I just checked scriptco.com which I use and they quoted $91 for 120 x 250 mg abi generic.

[Magnus1964]

Try getting zytiga from India. IndiaMart.com. mush cheaper. Make sure it's the brand.

Abby Rader Rowan, ok I'm dumber than a 4 year old. Is that a replacement for Hustler magazine?

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

That is what voice to text, using the microphone will do to a conversation😡

[j-o-h-n]

Abi-rater-one (Abby Rader Rowan) GOT IT........... THANK GOODNESS MY WIFE IS A SMARTY PANTS.....

They probably upped the price, because like me it takes time to figure out your request for refills............And you know what they say Tim Eism Oney.......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

MarkCubancostplus online pharmacy: $90.50 for 90 250 mg.

Someone pointed out to me that that is an odd number because you take I believe for a day, but they should have a way of working that out. I hope that helps you.

[Professorgary in reply to Cactus297]

I get 120 from cost plus for $120 plus $10 shipping and handling.

[Spyder54 in reply to Cactus297]

Thank you!

[hopefull99]

There is a new version of Abiraterone ... micronized version that you can take with food and is more absorbable ( need only 500 mg daily)

Being a new incarnation, it is expensive. I wonder if the prices they gave you is for this new version

[Professorgary in reply to hopefull99]

I need only 250mg daily with a 300 calorie breakfast.

[Professorgary in reply to hopefull99]

Taking it with food makes it more absorbable. So they ma ke a version that is to be taken with food and raise the price? Many of us have been taking it with food and only taking 250 and doing quite well.

[Cactus297 in reply to hopefull99]

You could contact them and check which version they’re dispensing. The site doesn’t say.

[Hidden in reply to hopefull99]

Yonsa has been around bit, but its indicated with methylprednisone

[Warrior13]

Try contacting the manufacturer. They can provide help

[rfgh20]

With my UHC part D, abiraterone cost me about $70 a month. Generic.

[Spyder54 in reply to rfgh20]

I am also AARP-United Healthcare Part D. They always bump me to Good Rx

[ShipModeler]

My Oncologists office has me two 12 month grants. I have been on Zytiga/Abirateron for 24 months and have not paid a dime.

[Cactus297 in reply to ShipModeler]

That’s super!

[ElRanchoDePoisonIvy]

Price range in my area for the generic goes from $138 to $13,715 for 120 250 mg tablets.

[TheWizardofWesley]

Look into HealthWell Foundation they provide grants for medication and or Health insurance premiums. When I was on those meds They covered me 100%. Good Luck

[ctflatlander]

CostPlus Mark Cuban) cost for me $181 for 180 pills 250mg includes shipping

[DesertDaisy]

We get my husband's at Costco. The Costco website still shows the price for members as $176.79 and the Good RX Safeway price shows as $227.99.

[Sagewiz]

No idea. I just started on the generic version from the Marc Cuban Cost Plus Pharmacy for under $200/mo.

[GoBucks]

Since you are on Medicare now is the time to change drug plans if desired. I recently ran some scenarios and saw it as low as $70 per month for 90 pills ( I took 3/4 dose) . I am in Ohio I know every State can be different. Just started looking again. Wellcare Value Script Plan has no monthly premium and $545 deductible. Abiraterone at CVS is $729.42 for the year. Remember that is for 90 250 mg pills per month.

[dhccpa in reply to GoBucks]

I'm looking hard at Wellcare Value Script as well. Are you in FL?

[GoBucks in reply to dhccpa]

No. Ohio, therefore GoBucks. My dilemma is that I am currently off all meds. I have to choose a plan for " just in case".

[dhccpa in reply to GoBucks]

Well, I'm halfway in that situation. I have a pricey eye drop but am not (yet) on AA, but could start at any time. That plan seems to work well all around.

[GoBucks in reply to dhccpa]

I'm going to meet with my Medicare guy and let him run everything on his computer.

[dmt1121]

I get Abiraterone and I am not yet on medicare but I was paying $1200 per month for the specialty pharmacy of my Health Insurance. I now go to QuickRx and pay $181 per month. They FedEx it to my house within two days. It's generic, not name brand. I am to get it today and hope that I do not find it has jumped as yours has.!

[dmt1121]

I just called them and the price has not changed.

[mrssnappy]

Try going to medicare.gov and using their search and compare tools. It's open season so you could make a change if you find a cheaper option for your area.

[Hidden]

With my evil Medicare Advantage plan, 😜

Abby Rader Rowan is $3 a month.

Prednisone, is $0 month.

[dhccpa]

Have you tried Singlecare?
