Doxycycline Hyclate 100 Mgs (Page 2)

This drug doesn't seem to be available at any dose. Have they stopped making it? I take it for rosacea...
I was shocked by the price of doxycycline. I have a high deductible plan. I've been using an app called GoodRx. It's similar to a discount card. Using the app the price went from $169 to $25! GoodRx can also be accessed online. You simply print the card instead.
Blame the price increase on the FDA crackdown on compounding labs...Unlikely prices will come down as a number of labs have been closed or are doing other drugs. I recently had a prescription filled at WalMart 20 100mg for over $100.
Reply to RGR,
Hi there, I am replying to your comment on Sun, Jan 13 '13, 5:47 PM and hope you might be able to help.
If your pharmacy still has some Doxycycline Hyclate 100 mg in stock, may I fill my prescription at your pharmacy. How much do you charge?
Please help. I don't have insurance, and without it, it has become prohibitive.
Thank you,
Mercedes
I just filled my dog's prescription at Walgreen's. She has an auto-immune disorder and this is the first time we've tried it. I was shocked at the $226 dollar price for 90 pills ($120 with the Walgreen's discount card). This is what the doctor prescribed and I am nervous for her health, so I paid it. If it works, I'll pay it because she's suffering right now. But it feels like I am at the mercy of the manufacturer.
I checked a Canadian Rx website, and they still had it for .49/capsule. Higher than my last refill, but a lot better than the one I gave back last night! I noticed that the same thing has happened with Tetracycline. I wonder what the agricultural industry will do, and how will it affect meat prices?
when I couldn't get the doxy, my dr ordered minocycline for me also, no real probs with it but I don't think it helped as much, people noticed my cheeks were red, back on doxy now and looks much better, hope minocycline works for you.
I was taking doxy 100mg for rosacea at $15 for 90 tablets at walmart (I'm uninsured), when I called in a refill it was $302! I was stunned, but my doc called in minocycline 100 mg for 90 pills @$30. Too soon to tell if it'll work better or the same, but it's worth the price reduction in my book.
Doxycycline comes from Streptomyces.. part of the Actinobacteria group. It is Tetracycline. Look up Tetracycline on Wikipedia.. Look at the section - "contraindications, side effects"... I think this is probably why its not so easy to get anymore. Anyway, I imagine the source for it is nearly infinite based on my research.
Also look up Streptomyces and go to the section "Antibacterials" and see Tetracycline in that list.. It should start to make sense now.
Can I get some doxycycline hyclate 100 mg for my dog who has an auto immune disease from your pharmacy?
same here i have Rosacea as well, my scripts are for 90 days at the time. well when i went to get a refill Walmart didn't t have it in stock but ordered it. I went today to get my refill, it's now $180 for 90 days used to be $10 just 3 months ago. So i declined it. i have 2 types of the disease occular and skin pustules and pimples, not pretty.
I really don't know what i am going to do now.
RGR thanks for that. oh well...
Please let me know if you have any additional information on this doxycycline situation. My dog also takes it for lupus. I dont know what to do. Do ou know of a substitute?
No...there is no signs of relief and to be honest I do not expect any. Doxycyline tablets and capsules went up in price at the same time. As I had said before, you used to be able to get 20 capsules or tablets for say $8 to maybe $15 depending on pharmacy chosen. Doxycycline used to be on the "free antibiotic" lists at many grocery store chains! Not any more! I would say the best price you would find now would be somewhere around $75.00 for 20 capsules or tablets. I will say that many many generic products have gone through the roof recently. I do not think a week goes by that something does not go way up.
RGR hi, I've heard that now even the prices for doxycycline pills have risen--any sign of relief on your end?
I take Doxycycline for Rosacea as well and had stocked up until today. My wife called and told me the refill cost and I almost had a heart attack! The company that manufactures my Doxy is West-Ward Pharmaceutical Group and their phone number for customer service is 800-631-2174. I say we all call them and tell them what we think of their greed!!!
RGR: got it, thanks; please let us know if things improve ie prices fall
Back in October 2012 and earlier Doxycycline 100mg would have cost about between $4.00 and $12.00 for an rx of 20 pills. Then in November the price went up to about $1.25 to $1.50 a pill. The manufacturers raised the price two different times.
Thanks, RGR. How much were they previously?
I wasn't paying enough attention, I guess--when did the prices go up?
Prices have not gotten any better folks, and I have no reason to believe they will. I am a pharmacist and know that generally speaking the Doxycycline 100mg capsules or tablets will be costing you folks $4.00 a pill or more. Hopefully most of you (human patients that is!) have insurance to cover the costs. Most of my patients have noticed little difference in price because their insurance cards have a set copay for generics (e.g. $10.00 per rx).
What is the cost of a prescription today? have prices gotten any better?
