> From what I read Covis Pharma to Acquire U.S. Rights from GlaxoSmithKline for Fortaz®, Zinacef®, Lanoxin®, Parnate®, and Zantac® Injection. So, they are selling the rights to Parnate and several over drugs to Covis Pharma.
My pharmacy called me this morning to tell me that Parnate cost has risen from approx $200 to $500/month (the portion I pay). I cannot pay it, but afraid of the generic - it took so long to find something that works and I have been on Parnate for 20 years! Has anyone used the generic and, if so, does it work the same or as well?? With no assistance (which I never used, but was going to contact until I read that they have discontinued their Bridges program) and now being required to pay almost $500/month WITH insurance, just cannot afford it - but can I afford not to?
