to give you an idea, the AWP, the average wholesale price, is the price right now that(or was for years and years until now) that all companies get paid for a drug. Pharmacies, hospitals, who ever bills it to insurance companies, use the AWP. A 200ml(the big bottle) of Gamunex, AWP is $1944.00
Im a big boy, so I get 650 ml daily for 3 days. Thats around 7000 dollars worth of just gamunex daily. Now add in all the tubing, syringes, home nursing, secondary drugs like heparin, salines, its up near the 9000 dollar mark daily for my treatment.
AS compared to people who just take prednisone, which costs around 2 cents per tablet.
Generic mestinon is relatively inexpensive also.
