I think I've been making a mistake buying my generic
Zestril...... Lisinopril

I always let my company health insurance pay for it and
it costs $20 thru them

However.... I actually think this is one drug Id be
better off buying out of pocket cause I just checked
and 30 days supply of 10 mg pills costs less than $20

Agree?  Anyone else on Lisinopril?

It sounds like your company health insurance company has been making
money in selling you generic lisinopril, which from many places costs
only $18.99 for 30 tablets of 10 mg each.

Your religious add-ons are like the pork in congress' bills.  We in this
group don't need it.  By the way Fake MD, you never addressed the fact
that no hospital will have you, or that my prayers to make you shut up
and go away have not been answered.  Does your god answer SOME prayers?
Is he a "selective" god?

Agree

Is it safe to cut Lisinopril in half to get even better
deal?

yes....invest in a $5 splitter...have doc write for twice the dose (tho some
will not do that)....I split pills regularly

obviously you cannot split capsules...and NEVERRRRR split a long acting
med...but you knew that

also...always check a source..ie like Walgreen's.com....enter in your
med...and find out what they charge...or ask your local pharm what the
"CASH" price is

and good luck

hubby takes it...we have used generic without a problem since he went on
medicare...no Part D....which is a scam

our pharmacy will never charge us if the cash price is more than the generic
co pay....you may want to ask them to do that for you

good luck
