Posted January 24Jan 24 Platinum Donating Member One of my riding buds daughter works at the pharmacy I used. She told me my co pay for a 3 month supply of generic flowmax was $90 and the co pay for the statin Im on is $40 Out of curiosity I asked her to tell me the price if I didnt use insurance and just paid cash for both . The flowmax is $28 and the statin is $16.90
January 24Jan 24 Author Platinum Donating Member This fucking ins company is happy enough making money off the insurance . They want to make money of me paying for scripts too. Then they wonder why fruitloop shot one of them.
January 24Jan 24 USA Donating Member Sure makes sense to not use your insurance in some of these cases. I’ve seen the same thing in Sconnie with some things the little woman’s daughter uses.

I was leary about going on the statin. He put me on it when I still smoked saying I had A 13% chance of heart attack , with statin down to 10% , if I quit smoking down to 7 % . I ended up quitting smoking . If I improved my diet just a bit I could probably dump the statin.

Im not advocating anyone else doing so, but when you go down the rabbit hole of researching statins it really makes you wonder if the benefits out weighs the risks. Lot of debate on what should be classified high cholesterol. I think if it can be controlled with diet you should definitely do that. Mine is more due to genetics. Showed little improvement with diet and Statins.

Res q 1250 fish oil and Red yeast rice(which acts like a statin) lowered my cholesterol from 299 to 167 in 6 weeks years ago. I take the 1250 regularly and the red yeast if needed depending on most recent blood test. The 1250 is pricier than most but the quality is unmatched When comparing EPA and DHA content. And I almost always get 50% off. https://www.res-q.com/resq-1250-omega3-plus-vitamin-d3-calamarine-high-dha-softgels.html

The flowmax is $28 and the statin is $16.90 It happens every time we run insurance for prescriptions. It’s basically just a joke now for us to see how bad you get screwed. The last one couple weeks ago antibiotics for my daughters strep throat the insurance wanted us to pay $170 bucks said ya nope run it without $43 bucks. My inhalers are ridiculous too it’s over half off to not use insurance.

I was on a very low dose , told him I was still getting up to pizz at night. He said to start taking 2. After taking 2 a day for a while I couldn't get a nut when screwing in the morning. When seeing a uralogist for a lump I told him " when screwing in the am I have a better chance of having a heart attack then an orgasm" he started laughing and said that is a side effect of flowmax. I went back to 1 a day that day.
