If you have insurance, many "new" or name brand drugs are $50 per prescription per month. And there can be limits on the amount of drugs issued each month. So if it takes two strengths of a med to equal your prescribed dose then that is two $50 co-pays per month. And if your doc wants you to take something twice a day and the drug company says you only need to take it once a day you only get the once a day dose for the $50.
Assuming you are on more than one or two meds that can add up rather quickly. And don't forget you are paying insurance premiums, too.
