Panic Attack
Lipitor, a common ordinary statin drug for cholesterol (generic Atorvastatin). A 30-day supply on Walmart's $4 prescription deal is over $60.00.
I've called Dr. Gruman to see if he will prescribe something less expensive. Only Dr. Gruman is out today.
After I had talked to different people at the Walmart pharmacy twice this morning, I found the med. online. Walmart shows 30-day supply of Atorvastatin for $4 and 90-day supply for $10. I take 7 other prescription drugs, so what will be my surprise when I need to refill something else?
I think I'll try one more call to Walmart. Why?

Keep trying. If they list it for $4, they should have to sell it for $4. Maybe try another Walmart.
I called Irondale Walmart, and they said $30.00 for a 30-day supply.
I called the Sylacauga Walmart and got a lady who explained it all to me. The $4/$10 price of Atorvastatin (Lipitor) was from 2011. The $60 quote from Leeds was for a 30-day supply, 40 mg a day. The $30 quote from Irondale was for a 30-day supply at 20 mg a day (my Rx is for 40 mg/day). Sylacauga quoted $60.00 for a 30-day supply at 40 mg a day, per my Rx.
I asked if Lipitor is the same as Mevacor (Lovastatin), which is still listed at the $4/$10 price. She said no, it's 2 different medicines, and she thinks they have taken or are about to take Lovastatin off the $4/$10 list.
Everybody is welcome to read this, but I wrote it all down for my own information.
Joanne have your doctor's office call Express Scripts, 1-800-870-6419. Ask them to see if your meds will be cheaper and if you can get home delivery. I get 4 of my 5 meds home delivered, 3 month supply, for $0. It's worth a check. I know that if it wasn't for this type of deal, I would never be able to get my meds. Between Laura and myself, our meds cost almost $1300 a month!!
