Price For Talwin Nx (Top voted first)

Updated

Hi all, my husband has been on Talwin nx for many years. In the past two years the cost has gone up and down like crazy. He started taking the generic but that too is so expensive (over $400 for 3 months). Wow I thought generics were suposed to be cheap. We had insurance up to last month and I have no idea how we are going to pay for his pills. He has an inhaler for asthma that is $900 for three months. I know some drug companies help if you can't afford the medication. Does anyone know anything about this?

Talwin NX (50mg. pentazocine with naloxone) official average wholesale price to a USA pharmacy by manufacturer Sanofi Aventis, one bottle of one hundred count pills sells for $187.03. Source: REDBOOK 113th year of publication. "Pharmacy's Fundamental Reference" ISBN 0781563637063 page 751. Publisher Thomson Reuters. The huge USA generic firm, Watson Laboatories, Inc. of Corona CA, used to also manufacture this drug "pentazocine hci 50mg with 0.5 mg. of Naloxone, in a green capsule shaped scored (caplet) embossed Watson 395. Source: PDR 61st Edition. page 3387. "Current status, this year, I am unsure of. "It is not listed in the 65th edition of the PDR, but, that, only means, that, "pharmaceutical firms in the USA pay a fee to be listed in the Physicians Desk Reference, and, the latest edition, I know for a fact, has, a significant minority of currently produced ethical pharmaceuticals, that, are not listed, in "the bible for physicians". The number of currently produced drugs in 2011 and 2012, is striking, "that are no longer listed in the PDR" (Note: the PDR has gone thru 2 transformations, of ownership, since, Medical Economics, Inc, was the publisher from at least 1965, until, at least 2002.

mfg a substitute medication, since the patent on one is active and on another has expired. It comes down to dollars and cents, more manufacturer's (to reduce costs) are not necessarily advertising their less popular medicines in the PDR, as in the past). Heresay, is that Hospira Pharmaceuticals, may now offer the generic version, of "Talwin NX" (citation needed).
Also, huge retail chains stores in the USA, with, "Walmart" being one of the industry giants, are offered, ethical contractual agreements, if, they sign, a contract, to xxx number of months, or years, to buy, a specific competitive medicine, exclusively, thru, one manufacturer and/or wholesaler, which, in the industry is sometimes referred to as a Deep Discount, to the USA pharmacies. Thus, $1.87 per pill wholesale for Talwin NX, by the brand name producer, Sanofi Aventis, USA, (hdqtrs, in France) may or may not be the "AWP" from REDBOOK.

When they took Darvocet off the market my doctor put me on Talwin NX which works but it is so expensive. Does anyone know of something that works like these do and are cheaper or maybe a cheaper place to buy the Talwin NX, or the generic Pentazocine/Naloxone? Thanks!

I have been trying to find a patient assistance program for the Talwin or the generic Pentazocine not much luck but at needymeds.org you can get a discount card free and today we paid $121.85 for 120 tablets at Walmart. The card gave us $47.00 off the monthly RX.
