He was stuck paying this amount until he met his deductible of $1,000 for the year.

What we found was an amazing difference in the price of this particular drug at the chain pharmacies we surveyed.  We found pricing for 90 pills as high as $320.00 and as low as $58.00. That difference could cost you $1,048 per year.  By employing our services for help on just this one medication, he received a return on investment of over 20 to 1.  Its just another example of why it pays to seek professional help in the smoke and mirrors that often is retail pharmacy.

Luckily, there are several cheaper options like doxazosin or finasteride you can try before resorting to these high dollar items. These items can usually be obtained for less then $10.00/mo. and in many studies are equally effective to their Brand Name competitors.
