My husband takes Nexium twice a day. There is no generic equivalent. Now that I am unemployed and do not have insurance it costs us $82 for a week's worth of pills.
Yeah, it doesn’t. I got a great coupon when the dr first gave me the prescription, it covered 6 months, and with the coupon and my insurance it was 5$ for one month. Then when the coupon ran out it was 60$ for the last prescription I got. I can afford it, but that’s still expensive for something I have to take forever. And I hate that now you can only get one month’s worth at a time. I used to be able to get 3 or more month’s worth of things I took all the time, but now, they only write the prescriptions for one month. I wonder why?
Does your husband notice much difference compared to OTC Prilosec ($22 for 42 capsules). It had been a few years since I reviewed the literature, but it was difficult at the time to find any experimental advantage of the higher-priced brand name prescription PPIs compared to Prilosec. I didn't notice any difference myself.
