Hi tug,

my pharmacy sells it for about $130 per month, they say its expensive because it

is pure with no additives.

Is your $85 pure?

thanks

I was wondering if anyone has purchased cholestyramine on line, if so from

who and how much? 1 months worth through the local pharmacy is $85.00 and I

simply cant afford it. Ive contacted PAR pharmaceuticals and here's their reply:

We are sorry as Par Pharmaceutical does not offer a Patient Assistance Program

for Cholestyramine Oral Suspension at this time.

Thanks

I bought prevalite (cholestyramine without sugar - the " light " version) at my

coumpound pharmacy for about 40$ for 42 scoops. Then I bought the same product

at Costo Pharmacy, 60 packets for cheaper. However I think my insurance is

paying part of it.

E, I was getting my CSM from Walmart so Im sure that it hasnt been compounded. I

pretty resourceful and can usually find a way to get my meds but with the CSM

I've run into a brick wall even if I order from a pharmacy outside the US it's

even more expensive than what I'd be paying at Walmart

Thanks
