What does Thorazine treat?

How much does Thorazine cost?
Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $12.04 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Promethegan — about $1.53 on the same basis.

pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Thorazine.
