7.5 Hydrocohone W Acemenphtamine - Price Jump
UpdatedI was given the same prescriptin today 01/15/14 7.5 mg. it cost me $30.52 Oct, Nov & Dec 2013. Went to my same pharmacist today after my appt. with my new blue script for same med i have been taking and the pharmasist told me the new cost is $45.00....the reason was as of 01/01/14 the government changed the amount of acemenphtamine so therefore the prices have gone up and I would not get it any cheaper at a Walgreens or Walmart...I left it there as I was shore $15 ... what is this government change all about and if they lesson the amount why charge more??

Hello, Cici! How are you?
Unfortunately, you've run into the law of supply and demand.
Yes, as of the first of the year, the other doses with the higher amounts of Acetaminophen in them have been removed from the market and what happened is that rather than reformulating all of them, some manufacturers just stopped making it altogether. Which means that the other manufacturers that are still making it had to step up their product to meet increased customer demand. They have to pay for more people to work in the facility that makes these tablets, plus ship them to pharmacies, so it causes a price jump.
There was a shortage the last few months of 2013 and well into January of this year, so that's actually when the price changes started.
Is there anything else I can help with?
