yikes. my oldest sister (who has had mrsa & ongoing other very badness) has been prescribed an antibiotic that's $100 a pill,

and they want her on 2 a day for at least some time.

ther's no generic; and there just aren't good alternatives in general, let alone for her (kidney issues, among others).

here's hoping kaiser steps-up, as they're part of the reason she's having the very bad badness. :( -

the pricelist in the link below made me wince.

looks like the pharma company may have a discount program; but those aren't always so easy to get into. :/ (www.drugstore.com)
