My Mood:  Points: 12,005.74 Bank: 10,204.12 Total Points: 22,209.86 |  Med Price In Canada?
I was wondering what the price of metformin is here? I've looking online but I know the online stores are cheaper than a pharmacy
I asked walmart about the price of clomid but never asked about met
and what about what my doc would give me to stop a never ending bleed?
what would he give me for that? estrogen? how much does that cost?

I don't know about the neverending bleed, sorry! I hope it stops PRONTO.
1500 mg Metformin costs me about $30/month at Shoppers Drug Mart. I think it's a little less at Wal-Mart and Cosco.
I've just been switched to Glumetza (extended-release Metformin), which is about twice the price.
Hth!

The met itself isn't very expensive, it's the filling cost you've got to worry about. Shoppers and PharmaPlus (and a lot of other 'professional' pharmacies) run about $12. Walmart, Costco, and Loblaws, and Zellers are $8. So if you're uninsured (ie, no cap on the filling price), you're better off to go to one of the cheaper places. I paid $22 a month for my met when I was going to Walmart. | |

Katie: The extended release version is Glumetza. It's three pills (=1500 mg) that you take all at once, which is good for forgetful people like me! It was about $60 for a month's supply. I haven't started it yet, though. I'd like to finish off my Met supply, first, since I had 3 weeks' worth left.

I'm on 1500mg/day and I pay just under $12.00 for the month at Independant Grocer's pharmacy.

They are all owned by National Grocer so they should all have relatively the same pharmacutical costs!
(My husband works for an Independant Grocer so I know more then I ever wanted to know about the company, lol)

I have insurance and pay a $5 copay. My RE prescribes a year at a time but the pharmacie gives my 90 days worth at a time. If you are not TTC, your doctor will put you on birth control to stop the bleed or else progesterone can be prescribed for 14 days to stop the bleeding and then have a normal withdrawl bleed and it should stop. I don;t recommend estrogen because most PCOSers are estrogen dominant and it can do more harm then good. Good Luck!
