Need Zytiga Tablets

I need to stay on Zytiga for quite some time and the cost is hurting this family. Does anyone in the group have any of this drug that they will never use and that they would ship to me. I will even take out-of-date product. If anyone can answer my request please send a positive reply.

Go to Johnson and Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation and you might qualify for free meds depending on your income. Also, there is a new generic at 1/3 the price. I know Walgreens has it.

Hi! Have a question about “generic”. Is it just different fillers as doctor’s claim or actually less of the abiraterone itself? Don’t care as much with BP meds but with PCa it is crucial. Thanks!

The generics all say 250 mg of Abiraterone ...

Talk to a pharmacist I recently asked this I was told government controls that main drug is exactly same dose but there can be a 20 percent difference in fillers. But honestly if one pharmacist eont give you facts and experience with patients go to the next. They often know the drugs better and the fillers.

When my husband was first getting his prescription filled from CVS Specialty Pharmacy - the person there told us about an 800 # to call to get financial assistance for Zytiga. I didn't take the number as I told her we wouldn't qualify and our co-pays wouldn't be more than $10, which was correct. But I was in shock when she told us co-pays are usually anywhere from $300 - $3000. Seems like highway robbery to me. You could probably google to find the number.

Trump took the patent off Johnson & Johnson. After several appeals, j&j lost and the drug has gone generic. Google zytiga and generic. God bless.

in reply to Mormon1

The cost of the generic to me went from 525.00 a month to 320.00 per month. Not that much of a drop in my opinion. Younsa isn’t a generic it’s a similar drug but not exactly the same as a generic would be.
