Okay. Let me begin this blog by saying that I do *not* like taking medication. Nadda at all. I avoid it with a vengenace, instead seeking natural approaches which, for me, work... all with the exception of my allergies and asthma, which have been with me in various degrees since childhood. At this time, prescription meds are all that works for me when it comes to the allergy/asthma issue, so I've no choice but to take Xyzal, Singulair, and an inhaler several times a week when needed, which really hasn't been a problem, except for the extreme cost of prescription meds in the US. (Thanks, US government.)
A 30-day prescription of Xyzal costs around $130, and even the newly-released generic form is almost as costly. In fact, when the recently released generic version of Xyxal became available in the US, the cost of Xyzal suddenly went up, and the cost of the generic version is now the cost of what Xyzal used to be. And Singulair (for asthma) is even more costly. Insurance does cover some, but only a tidbit. With the two meds combined with an inhaler, I could easily spend $300 a MONTH on necessary allergy medications. I know I'm not alone in this, as there are many, many others out these in need of specific medications, and I feel for those of you who have to pay a great deal out-of-pocket (even with insurance) for something you cannot prevent at this time in your life.
However, are you aware that you can get prescription medications through legitimate pharmacies in Canada for a very small fraction of what it costs to get them here? Take northdrugstore.com, for example. I bought 100 tabs of generic Xyzal (that's more than 3 months worth) for $30 US. 100 tabs of generic Xyzal in the US would cost -- even with our good insurance -- well over $300. That's pretty darn big savings.
So... just sayin'. Of course, you will need to fax or email your prescription to the online Canadian drug stores, and make sure you do find one that's legit, like the one I mentioned above. Stop paying ridiculous amounts for a prescription med you need, and get your meds from Canada or bust! ;-)
In the meantime, I'm continually striving toward self-healing my allergies so that, in time, I'll never have to take the meds again. I know that having two cats isn't helping my situation (I'm very allergic to animal dander) but my furbabies are with us forever; I couldn't ever live without them. So, whilst transforming my energetic pattern and re-establishing a frequency within my body that makes it so that I can eventually can the meds for good, this is how I'm getting over the hurdle of the cost of meds. Vive le online Canadian pharmacies!
