I buy it compounded, which is about half the price of the standard pills.
What does that mean? what do the pills generally cost here?
So look in the mom & pop drug stores not the CVS /walgreens?
IS there a brand name on the compounded brand?
Compounding pharmacies can mix the formula and encapsulate it for you. They’re not pre-made as at most pharmacies (although they offer that also). A lot of naturopathic doctors use compounders. Plus, they’re small and local, which is why I prefer them. My local guy is in a restored old soda fountain… it’s like stepping back in time.

ME: Compounded means that the pharmacists uses the base ingredients and mixes them to create the drug inhouse. They can personalize the dosage to best suit you.
I paid $55 for five capsules of 27mg each. You take one per day. The pills were over $100 for generally equivalent dosage. (Dosage is in set increments.)

Yes. At least, that’s how it was a few months ago. Some chains may have relaxed their rules.
