We received this bit of advice from a reader: ” I was reading the FSH Watch and saw the article about Anthem Blue Cross and formulary issues. I have purchased my Claritin D and my daughter’s inhaler from http://www.progressiverx.com for years. Over the counter medications do not require a prescription, but prescription drugs do require that a script be faxed to them. The drugs come from the countries of origin (oftentimes India). Cymbalta is about $0.50 a pill for 20 mg tablets and less than $1.00 for 60 mg, far less than the $500/mo cost in the article. The total cost of medications is often less than the cost of the copay here in the U.S. You might pass this information on to any patients who are given the run around. “
