Acne Pills for Kid Cost $1,200 for 30 pills.

Switch to accutane.

Cheap.

Not that I care, cosmetic stuff like that shouldnt be free.

Screw that doctor. He or she should have made that clear upfront.

I don't know anything about the pills, but I know Dermatologist make bank. If I were ever going to be a doctor, it would be a Dermatologist. No emergency calls... You got to deal with people's nasty rashes and pizza looking faces, but them bastards pull in the paper.

And for 30 pills to cost $1200.. $40 a pill.. Is highway robbery,

Gotta be really careful with meds. doctors prescribe them without regard to cost. I have a relative with psoriasis...Doctor regularly prescribes some type of new product. That is great until you get to the pharmacy to find out that a small tube of ointment costs several hundred bucks out of pocket. Nothing sadder than seeing an elderly person have to walk out without meds because they can't afford to pay....and if you ask any pharmacist, they will tell you that they see it every day.

Just got a bill for $1,200 (for 30 pills) for a prescription of Solodyn.

Internet search appears that I could have gotten Minocyclin (have to take twice a day instead of once) for frigin $20!

you have a terrible pharmacist!!

i would have told you what your internet search revealed, while at the pharmacy, then contacted the doctor, telling them that it's hella expensive, and you ain't paying that shite... i would have given the recommendation of generic Minocycline, which is far cheaper, the same medication, and essentially, just as convenient for therapeutic compliance...

You aren’t obligated to accept the script just because it’s filled, just walk away

Accutane’s side effects are a problem. Suicide attempts are linked to using it.

The Walmart goodRx price for 30 tabs Solodyn is $189. Doing your internet research before picking up Rx would have saved you $1000.
Regardless I would still prefer 2 minocycline a day for $20 unless there is something else I am missing.

Doctors typically don't know what prescriptions cost.

This is why our health care costs so damn much. People have no information on what things cost. And if insurance pays for it then we are all collectively paying for it.
