At pharmacy to pick up a refill on a prescription from my dermatologist. Using it for about ten years on as-needed basis. (Usually it lasts 12-18 months on one refill.)
Presto, the price is $645 because suddenly it is non-formulary for insurance. But also how is a common steroid cream that expensive?
U.S. healthcare system with insurance and pharma playing chicken with our money and health is beyond absurd.
It isn't a life or death drug for me, but these games piss me off.
You might also check the prices on GoodRX. I've found some drugs discounted over 90% through them.
