Title: Money, money, money
Post by totka on Nov 16^th, 2003, 11:30pm

As you know ( or not ? ) Hungary is joining the European Union next year but I'm worrying about (among others) Imigran's price.
A box of 'Trex is $23 now here (we pay $11.5 for it and insurance company refunds the other half price)
OK, $23 isn't a large sum but the "monthly minimum pay" is $255 and "average wage" is $463 (before taxation!) in Hungary. Neither free 6 box of 'trex/month nor free sample from the doctor.
So I'm just thinking about the Imigran's next year's price.

My question is what does Imigran / Imitrex cost in other countries.

Hi Totka,

About $90 in Canada (Québec) for two shots. That would be something like $67 in US money.

That is probably the only thing that's cheaper in Canada than in the US... $132 for two shots, that stinks!!! That would be a good enough reason to invade Canada [smiley=bigguns.gif]
