Attention naltrexone shoppers!

Very informal, haphazard, and un-thorough search for the best price on naltrexone

10/26/01 - data collected by myself and others from the Moderation Management listserve
 

First, the winner. The best price being $3.25 per pill in lots of #90 pills:
http://www.assistedrecovery.com/naxorder.htm

Kudos and congrats to 'assistedrecovery.com' !!

Thank you to Erik who shared this link. This is almost 1/2 price
compared to local neighborhood NYC pharmacy, the drug wholesaler, and
some other internet prices. 

The 'complete,' such they are, results:

Shoppers Drug Mart -- 50 tablets for $332 <=== $6.64 per pill 
Thank you Janet P. for checking this one out for us.

Erik came up with a bunch, including the aforementioned winner.
Additionally he reports: Drugstore.com
ReVia =  Naltrexone HCl Tablets 50 MG 30 tablets $104.03;
90 tablets $307.43 <===== $3.42 per pill (not bad)

Then there's http://www.communitydrug.com/products/ldn3.cfm 
 Price: $24.95 For 30 capsules of 3mg each. Low Dose Naltrexone 3mg Capsules
[ 'Low dose naltrexone' is an interesting concept but that is a
story for another day. If you are interested, you can peruse some
references on the subject by following this link:

At http://www.assistedrecovery.com/naxorder.htm 
The cost for thirty 50-mg Naltrexone tablets is $102.00 <== ($3.40 per pill) 
Sixty 50-mg Naltrexone tablets are $201.00 <== **($3.35 each)
** Ninety 50-mg tablets are $292.50 <== **($3.25 each)** THE WINNER!

Finally http://www.onlinemexicanpharmacy.com/sample2.htm 
... ANTAXONE (Revia) Naltrexone 25 mg 14 caps $ 59
... ANTAXONE (Revia) Naltrexone 50 mg 14 caps $ 104
... ANTAXONE (Revia) Naltrexone 50 mg 28 caps $ 169 <== $6.03 per pill

I called the local pharmacy I use in Manhattan; it is an independent
small business, not a national or regional chain. Their price <=== $5
/ pill (AND apparently there is an identical price for both Brand Name
(ReVia by DuPont) and generic (which they think is also probably made
by DuPont [????])

The mail order 'wholesaler:' I used when buying in bulk for my private
practice is asking $180.59 / bottle of 30 <=== $6 / pill. (See, the
mom and pop knows and loves me.) The wholesale place, when I asked
'where the price break was' said that he could "definitely work with
me on price" depending on quantity. I took it no further at this time.
