Meds Question
« on: January 03, 2009, 07:17:54 PM »
I am getting closer to being able to make the move to WY but I'm still figuring out the logistics of it.  One question: what can I expect to pay for a Dilantin perscription?  I take 400mg/day and I want to figure the cost of it into my moving budget.

Thanks!

I know very little about epilepsy, but a very rudimentary search gives results that suggest you can get your 400mg per day over the Internet for a  tolerable price, 60 to 113 cents per day:

(60 cents per 400mg)

(113 cents per 400 mg)
http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=00071036932&trx=1Z5006

I presume that there is no special magic about a 400mg pill versus four 100 mg pills, of course.

Hope this helps.
