Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine)

Well, it's true for me too.  I refilled my rx and the price had gone up more than 100%.  Has anyone heard the reason for all of this?  I think the last time this subject was the topic it was considered that they (the mfgrs.) stopped making it in order to drive up the price.  If it's true it worked!

Shortages???

That stinks that the price has gone up...I have not noticed it going up at CVS but I have insurance coverage, do you?

I've not had any problem with cost or availability. I use Walgreens and do have Rx coverage.

I use Walgreens and the portion that I pay has remained the same, but have you checked what your insurance has paid??  Ridiculous!!  If I had to pay for the generic myself I wouldn't be able to take it!  My insurance company is getting absolutely gouged for my Plaquinil and Generic Evoxac.

There is nothing I can do about it but thank God that I'm not paying it!

The prices have gone up😳

I take the brand name it used to cost $240 per month and that is with insurance lately it's been $276. My drug costs are a huge source of stress in my household.

Don't be afraid to shop around.  I did that.  I was getting 3 months supply for $6.  Then in Nov., I went to get a refill and they wanted over $100!  I went to my local pharmacy in my grocery store and was able to get a month supply for $6.  Had the dr. move my prescription there and got it for that month.  When I was ready to refill the monthly prescription, I checked the price at my mail in place again and it was back down to $7 for three months.  So, I went back.  It comes down to the price the pharmacy pays at the time they refill their supply.  I think it is terrible.  But worth shopping around.
