TEVA C/L PRICE INCREASE at my independent pharmacy, getting mylan
 

i like teva but the local pharmacy i have been going to for 15 years told me 'their cost jumped almost 300%. TEVA sold the carbidopa/levodopa manufacturing rights to another drug company as part of the deal to acquire allergan. anyone else have this cost jump happen?

i have a call into MAYNE to try to find out more. i might be making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Soccertese, what have you found out about Teva generic c/l from Mayne pharmaceuticals? Is it available and what about price increase? Teva brand c/l works so much better for me than Actavis brand. Thanks

Badboy99,

John

have a little more research to do, hopefully will have a definitive answer tomorrow

if they are using actavis's formula/production line it makes sense, assume their cost is less than teva's.
as if pd'ers don't have enough to worry about.

Yes, John.
