With the Mucinex being so expensive, I found that ordering them from
CVS.com was much cheaper than I can get around Atlanta. I can get a
quantity of 40 for close to what I pay for 20 in town.

Only thing, the companies will change the formula just enough to retain a
patent somehow, or $$ to the FDA. Look at what happened with the *new*
Mucinex... guaifenesin was $8 a hundred, and now it is .50 cents a pill and
more. The FDA freeze out the generics except in foreign markets. Beconase
has been around forever it seems (but no generic here), but still costs a
fortune, and even in Mexico it is still is more expensive than Rhinocort. Go
figure...

Has the patent on any brand of steroid spray expired yet? Vancenase was
one of the first and it's been around for at least 10 years, so maybe a
generic form will come along soon.

For those paying out of theor own pockets, there might be the option of
importing from Canada.
Also, it may still work at reduced dosage.....

OK so I went to an allergist and was diagnosed with being allergic to Cats
(which was obvious) and mold. Mold is everywhere, especially the stuff they
tested for which is what you would find in grass.
I was prescribed Flonase and would like to know what you all think of this
drug?
I am also wondering how this drug works, I checked the website and it
basically says nothing about it.
Thanks,
Steve
