A patient was whinging about having to pay for two lots of tablets..the doctor reduced her dose of Glivec from 400mg twice a day to 600mg d..which meant she had to have 400mg and 100mg tablets..at $32.90 each it will cost her $65.80 a month..
I told her it costed hundreds and hundreds of dollars and the government have already subsidized most of it...it was only when the technitian looked up the price that her jaws dropped..it costs about $2,000 for a packet of Glivec 100mg cost price..
$32.90 compared to $2,000 is minute..
