I am starting on Byetta and trying to figure out how to afford it. Insurance won't pay anything and the med alone is $200+ per month. First, does anyone have any of the coupons that came with the introductory pack that they are not going to use? If so, I would like to acquire them if possible. Secondly, online prescriptions are a total alien to me. I will save about $25 ordering online but am nervous about counterfeit drugs, etc. Anyone have any advice or information? Thanks.

A nurse I would reccomend not ordering online unless you know for a fact it is a US company and is being held to FDA standards. It may be cheaper over the border, but you don't know what you are getting. check
Prescriptioncouponsandrebates.com

they have all the coupons, rebates, and patient assistance programs listed.

I am sorry you are needing Byetta. I hope it helps you. You might also want to checkout a website called patientslikeme.com it is a great support site.

I was reading an article about Walgreens Prescription Savings Club earlier, because a vet blogged about it for pet meds LOL. So when I saw this post after searching AFC, I checked WAG for your drug.

I can't enter links yet because I don't have enough posts, so:

Go to Walgreens site, click on Pharmacy tab in top left area. Walgreens Prescription Savings Club link will be towards the bottom of the left side menu, click on it.

Drug Pricing Tool will be underneath an image of a magnifying glass -- it will only work with Internet Explorer.

Enter your drug name in the search box, and click the Drug Search button.

There are 2 different Byetta doses listed, click on the one you need to get the price. The quantity thing is weird with the decimal points (I don't do this program, maybe someone else here could explain quantities with decimal points), but when set to quantity 1, the prices are:

BYETTA 5MCG PEN (250MCG/ML 1.2ML) = $180.62
BYETTA 10MCG PEN (250MCG/ML 2.4ML) = $107.63

I'd confirm those prices, for it seems odd that the higher dose would be cheaper. See if it does for you too when you try it, making sure to set the quantity drop-menu to 1 for both dosages.

But, also check with the mfr site: byetta dot com (sorry I can't post links yet).

At the bottom of their customer support page is a link about insurance coverage. Clicking that link discusses ins, but also has a link for Patient Assistance Program.

Thank you so much. Don't be embarassed, I can't post links either!!!

If you look at the maker of Byetta (I cant remember off the top of my head) and go to their website.... alot of drug manufacturers have patient assistance programs... I would at least check and see if they offer something HTH
