I am a 60 year old man with high blood pressure and cholesterol.
I am currently taking 60 mg. of Lipitor per day, which is 1 1/2 pills of 40 mg.
150 pills which is a 100 day supply cost me $700.00 or $2,800.00 per year.
I could purchase Lipitor 120 pills for a cost of only $245.00 or I could purchase 120 Generic Lipitor pills for a cost of only $132.00 in England. If I purchased the name brand this would cost me only $980.00 per year. If I purchased the Generic my savings would be even greater.
I could purchase Lipitor 180 pills for a cost of only $256.00 or I could purchase 180 Generic Lipitor pills for a cost of only $120.00 in Canada. If I purchased the name brand this would cost me only $1,024.00 per year. If I purchased the Generic my savings would be even greater.
However, for me to purchase these medications and have them shipped to me in the United States is a violation of the law.
Additionally, we do not have a Generic version of Lipitor available to me in the United States as they do in Canada and England.
