X-Message-Number: 17107 From: Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 00:52:57 EDT Subject: Statin Cholesterol-Lower Drugs & Costs Cryonet: Drug companies have some of the very healthiest profit margins of any industry in the USA--I don't. Per my checking today, K-Mart pharmacies in Raleigh, NC will fill a prescription of thirty 10 mg Lipitor tablets at a costs $56.99. Thirty 80 mg tablets cost $107.97. Guess what potency my doctor will soon be prescribing for my 10 mg per day habit? I guess I can figure out how to chop up some pills at a savings of over $500 per year. There is a similar spread with Zocor and probably the rest of them. Just a thought I thought I would pass on. Regards, David C.
