Maybe, but as long as Walgreens and CVS are charging $200+ for 10 pills of ED meds I think it will stick around.

or like $300 for 30 days of generic lipitor, say if you're a foreign traveler or something.

Is Sildenafil 20 still super cheep? When I was dispensing it was like 3 bucks for a bottle of 30

Cialis wholesale is around 20-40 cents per pill right now. Walgreens and CVS cash price for 30 pills are around $450-500.

I don't mind a decent mark up (y'all don't work for free), but that's 3 orders of magnitude.
 
LoL they hired the TikTok foot doctor for their ads.

 
Recently I started seeing a trend when customer want to return medication becase “after he paid cash and came home found good rx with cheaper price”. So he paid originally no one forced him, he could of say hold it until I figure out how I want to pay. Most of cases when someone else picked like mom and pop and their kids found GoodRx and told them to go return. I refused it. What do you do?

Not a pharmacist but occasionally I'll have patients upset that pharmacies won't let them return medications. I explain that its not safe for them to do so for a variety of reasons, so I wouldn't have any issue with you not accepting returns.

I'm their PCP, they complain about everyone to me. You, the ER, their specialists.

Nope. Generic Revatio and Adcirca wholesale is 20-40 cents per pill, not Cialis

If you mean name brand Cialis you are correct (which is not what I meant but I should have been more specific). On the other hand, I can order 500 tadalafil 10mg for 23 cents per pill and have it delivered literally tomorrow.

Goodrx, another company that is making hundreds of millions per year while retail pharmacy can barely stay in business anymore. Something is going to have to change or there won't be too many physical pharmacies anymore

I'm no mathemagician but I count two

Regardless, the 1-2 tadalafil rxs we dispense for ED across four pharmacies in a week definitely aren't keeping the lights on

40 cents to $4 is one order of magnitude. $4 to $40 is another. $40 to $400 is the third.

Tab for tab, it's $0.40 vs $13 (or $400/30 tabs)

What are the main challenges for the chains not making cash? They have PBMs of their own and mandatory mail order, somehow legal.

Seems like they really want a price adjustment.
 
This can't be Good RX coupons. This has to be manufacturers coupons.
