6 doses of the 20mg Nasal Spray cost $144.00 at my local pharmacy, but they tend to be a little more expensive than the discount chains because they let my wife & I carry an account, and they're independent. I don't know how they manufacture the injections for retail, but they do manufacture injection refills for the professional samples. My wife works at an OB/GYN clinic and since most of their patients are pregnant, they don't give out alot of Imitrex. In fact, I have been their best customer. But even with the wealth of resources available, I still feel like a junkie. I guard my precious meds like a junkie guards his stash, and I stockpile me drugs when in remission, because when my beast comes a knockin', no amount on hand is enough.
Imitrex is good stuff, but part of your expense is subsidizing the cost caps other countries place on the cost of prescriptions.
