...Just got off the phone with Glaxo Wellcome 1-888-825-5249. Explain the problem people are having with the cost of Initrex and the Ins. comp. only letting us get nine pills in a 30 day period. Since I've had to take as many as six pills in a day, what are we to do? As good as the Drug is, its only good if you can afford it. I told then I understand some of the reason of cost, but as a nurse I also know that when you put one pill in a big sample box that cost money, also the drug reps bring lunch to our office at least three times a month so we will write more RX. If you call the above number they have a program to help with the cost. It takes some work your Dr. has to be willing to call or write them and tell then of your need for help. If all this works they will supply you with your drugs for free (10.00 charge) Might be worth a try... Good Luck and I hope this helps someone. Cindy
