Mom is still in the middle of the "runaround" with her Arimidex prescription. She received her monthly supply from Diplomat late last week. Instead of it being the generic that she thought it would be, she received the Arimidex again. This is just more and more confusing. The "generic" that she recieved from the regular pharmacy, anastrozole,is the same thing as the arimidex. I believe that the one is the active ingredient of the other. If I'm confused and my mom is confused, can you imagine how people who don't really pay attention to the costs and the drugs are fairing? Mom went to her pharmacy for other prescriptions today and checked on the cost of the arimidex "generic" and it was now up to $377.00 for a 30 day supply! Now that is just a bit over $130 less than what it would cost for the regular drug. Not much of a savings yet is it?
Other than having to deal with all of this craziness, Mom has been having many more good days than bad days. Yesterday, wasn't a good day for mom as she was suffering from lots of nausea from the Arimidex. However, she is feeling much better today. This must come in waves for her. Once her body gets used to the drug, then she can get her other medications under control. Slow progress, but the prospects are looking better and better!
