I live in the Philippines.

 

We have here an Isotretinoin brand callled 'Acnetrex', and it is available on 10mg.

 

10mg, 30 capsules is worth 1,450 PHP or $32.80 USD.

 

I'm on my 3rd month now and I consumed 4 boxes already, so doing the math I already spent $131.2 USD with these pills.

 

(excluding the appoint with my doctor which cost 700 PHP ($15.83 USD) per session, and blood work which costs about 1,500 PHP ($33.93 USD) per blood work.)

 

How much is yours?? And Which country are you In? I am curious.

 

P.S.: If you are covered with your insurance, How much would it be if it is not covered with your insurance?

Dermatologist Appointments are about $120 each

 

Bloodwork is about $100

 

30x 40mgs Generic Myorisan $310

 

Without insurance and taking 80mgs a day a 6 month coarse would cost $5120

 

With my insurance it is going to run me about $2800

I'm from the US and my insurance won't cover it at all. If I go to a regular drug store its around 800-1,000 a month.

 

I found out if you go to Sam's club and get a membership its about 230 a month.

 

insurance sucks

US, paying out of pocket, running me $420 for pills, $110 for derm, $40 for blood work. So for my 5 month course I'll be spending $2850 and then probably another $200-300 on upkeep.

 

Merry early Christmas to me...

I live in Canada and I actually have to pay for my Accutane. It definitely depends on your insurance. I have to pay for mine because the chemist told me that Accutane can be considered cosmetics to some companies and not a legitimate medication. Like how if I wanted cosmetic surgery, I'd have to pay the full price versus a surgery that requires reparation of my organs that my insurance would most likely cover a portion of. My insurance covered my other oral acne antibiotics, such as Doxy and Mino because those drugs are multifunctional and are for a variety of problems, (but one of them being acne), which is why my insurance covered it.

It's approximately $3.67 for one tablet of 40mg, so approximately $115 per month. It depends on the insurance company; some doesn't cover it (like mine) or some will cover it slightly.

My blood tests are free though. I go to a walk-in clinic to get the prescription, and that's free also.

I'm also in Canada and I just got my first month's prescription of 40mg Clarus (no insurance) for $76.

Wow I wish I could spend only $10-$50 a month. I live in Japan and for one 20mg is 1,030 yen. I pay about $300 a month for my accutane. :(Schedule

Really!? Could I ask what province you're in? I'm on Epuris, which like Clarus is just the Canadian version and generic version of Accutane and way cheaper, my doctor says :)

In Sweden the appointments with the doctors are free, the blood test are free. A 100 pack of 20mg costs around 70$. In Sweden after you have spent 200$ on a treatment, the rest becomes free of charge. So all in all my accutane course will cost around 200$.

I live in China. Here I pay a little under $6 for a box of 20 10-mg pills, so about $30 for a little over a one-month supply for me (I'm on 30mg right now), in addition to the hefty $0.90 fee for seeing the doctor. And no hassle of the blood tests, etc. before you can get it, either. Living here has its perks!

My insurance covers the lab work, and the medicine so its thankfully free to me. I live in the U.S.
