I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and my eyes bugged out of my head when I saw the bill: $295 for a month's supply of pills! I can afford it, but I certainly don't like it. Why is it so fucking EXPENSIVE?
The manufacturer is going to recoup the money it spent on research and development. When the patent expires and generics are available, the price will go down. It really is a much better anticoagulant than Warfarin. The monitoring required for dirt cheap Warfarin could cost you more than the Eliquis.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
