Generic Cialis

I see that generic cialis (tadalafil) is now available. I was hoping it would be much cheaper since my insurance doesn't cover it (only generic viagra). It is cheaper, but far from cheap.

10 x 10 mg tablets is $221, vs $618 for the brand name.

Maybe I can go for this approach to save some money: Take generic viagra during the week for maintenance, and tadalafil on weekends, for <fun>?

Any of you guys trying this approach?

I guess that means my insurance is lousy!

Try one of many Canadian pharmacies......I pay a little over a $1/pill for generic Cialis 5 mg. Not thru insurance.

Try GoodRx. It shows you where you can get a prescription filled locally, without insurance. The cost can be low for some prescriptions. It's free to use.

Post Edit - GoodRx is not a good deal for this drug, at least local to me. Same price as you quoted. But it has worked for me well in the past with a couple of drugs.

DJBearGuy,

Shoot me an email (its in my profile). I'll provide some cost effective info.

Americans are the ONLY people who pay outrageous prices for drugs..The other 7.5 Billion people on our planet have access to the same drugs but at MUCH lower cost...A few of these specialized drugs ARE difficult to make and DO cost more than the easy to produce medicines but they sure don't cost as much as they do in the U.S. In The States, the way our drugs are developed, manufactured, distributed and priced, it's all focused on everyone in the food chain making as much money as possible. If this results in economic hardship for patients who NEED these drugs, that's just too bad. The stockholders come first..When you are bankrupt or near bankrupt, call us and maybe we can help...

Carey and fiddle,

GoodRx was the first place I looked, and as you found, wasn't that great a deal. However, it might be the best domestic deal I can find. Even their prices can only be had by printing out their coupon and taking it to the pharmacy. Have you done this? Can you use coupons more than once?

I'm able to buy a months supply for $30 at the compounding pharmacy. My Uro set it up.
