CVS #6768
Bao Tran the CVS Pharmacist charged me $9.95 for 2 pills that would last me two days. I then asked him how much it would cost for a full perscription of the medicine he said it would be $53.00 for 25 pills which works out to $2.12 per pill after I questioned him why he charged me $ 9.95 for two his response was that he would work it out when he got the authorization from the doctor to fill the full perscription. I thought to myself work it out this isn't a side street bizarre auctioning off out of the gutter health potions or snake oil where the highest price wins! I noticed that the pills were different looking then the first but on the CVS paperwork it said that medicine was the same. Took the medicine that nite had adverse effects that startled me to say the least. After checking on line about the manufacturer of the 2 pills CVS /Bao Tran provided I foundout that this generic brand medicine has had many negative reviews from some of the patents that have used it in the past (see links below) http://www.fibrotalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=27601

CVS Pharmacy has it's own pricing for it's medication without insurance. Some medications do in fact lower in price per unit the higher the quantity is.
Pharmacists have to be very cautious about medications like Ambien since it is a controlled substance, thus having much higher risk of being abused. It is often a judgment call with their license on the line when it comes to refilling these medications earlier than their state law instructs them.
With many drugs such as ones for blood pressures or cholesterol, so long as they are not expensive brand names, a pharmacist will be more than happy to loan you some to keep you on track.
CVS Pharmacy will occasionally order multiple generic manufactured drugs of the same brand. This may be for a variety of reasons: customer preference, cheaper in cost, insurance formularies including only specific NDCs, et cetera. If you prefer a specific generic manufacturer, any pharmacy would be happy to order it for you if it is supplied by a local warehouse or Cardinal Health.
If the customer has not made any preference known to their manufacturer, a technician may change it depending on which is currently in stock.
From the inside, I can easily see why a patient would be frustrated with issues such as these.
