In the past I've gotten generic Canasa (salofalk) suppositories from Canada because even with my insurance it was astronomical in US.
I had 2 big life changes, am on Medicare now (yay) with an RX plan and I moved to North Carolina.My new NC doc (unlike FL doc) does not give written RX so peeps like me can not order from Canada (sign in exam room so people have asked about it).
I use Canasa rarely but always want it as possibility so googled to see how much it'll cost me US. Publix charges $153 for 30 supps with goodrx coupon, less than Canada pharma charged last time. Maybe my new RX plan will be even less $$ but goodrx.com is good for many people with lousy or no insurance because it bypasses insurance.
I read the story about how goodrx was started by a dude who experienced the stupidness of RX secret pricing so he started that business. Has saved me a lot of money.

Goodrx is amazing. It's great that we have pharmacies competing for our business.

Hi, this is a good price...i just looked and mine was around the same price..so you just get your doc to send a scrip to the pharmacy that takes good rx, print out the coupon and take it there and it works? cant be that easy..really?
