Chris, thanks for taking the time to report your wife's pharmacy experience. I only have a small correction and addition. The kit price is in the neighborhood of $100 for a 6 pack of the highest dosage (500mcg.). This is a relatively expensive drug. The patient is the only person who can answer whether this is too expensive. Actually, the highest dose is 1000 micrograms, not 500. My patient two days ago reported the retail price he paid with no HMO subsidy of $70 for a "six-pack" of the 500mcg dose. I agree that there will be downward pricing pressure when other therapies are available. This is why the new manufacturing facility is so important, to keep lowering the cost of production so MUSE can stay price competitive. Again, thanks for taking the time to contribute. Zebra
