NEXIUM can kiss my butt!
So I have heartburn for the first time in my life after surgery. Not really bad but it's there. I go to my PCP this week and he calls in a script for Nexium.
I go to pick that up along with two other scripts, the pharmacy said that my insurance doesn't cover Nexium (all my other scripts are only 5.00). I said oh well how much is it for a month?
The pharmacist say's "that would be 229.00 dollars"......I was like What the **** Now I don't know how much Crack or Meth cost, but its got to less then that!
What the hell is IN this magic pill?
Does it make your penis sprout like a spring Zuchinni?
Make you irresitable to the opposite sex?
Can you crap a golden egg after taking it?....DAMN!
I told him I will pass, then he told me OTC prilosec is about the same exact thing.
Looks like Tums and generic Prilosec for me...JEEEEZ

Jason,
Too funny!!!!
I had a similar sticker shock with Nexium. My insurance co-pay for 45 pills was $150 which I grudgingly paid. When the pills ran out and I still needed the PPI I complained about the cost to my doctor and he told me to take Prilosec OTC as it does the same thing. I seemlessly switched to Prilosec and was on it for 6 months post-op.
Sure wish the doctor had put me on Prilosec before I paid $150 for 45 days worth of Nexium. Had I not complained about the cost I would have been given another scrip for Nexium.
Good luck and thanks for the laugh,
George
