Eighty-Seven Dollars a Pill Versus Ten Cents

Same molecule. Same strength. Same bottle of one hundred.

On AndaMEDS this morning, brand Viagra 100 mg invoices at $8,742.58 for one hundred tablets. That is $87.43 a pill. Generic sildenafil 100 mg, same count: $9.59. Ten cents a tablet.

I am not shocked. The patent expired. The chemistry did not change. The sticker did.

This is Price of the week. Not an insurance rant. A wholesale invoice. Direct primary care clinics buy near cost and pass the number on. Keep a policy for the wreck. Do not buy a brand tax for a generic drug.

Eighty-seven dollars is a price. Ten cents is also a price. Pick the door with the smaller number.
