Superstore at Don Mills and Eglinton has a private walk-in clinic downstairs open to all and a Loblaw Pharmacy upstairs. You can call them ask the prices. My guess is that you would do better at Walmart in the US.
Pharmacy Address: 825 Don Mills Rd, North York, ON M3C 1V4
Phone: (416) 391-4847
Thanks for this. US drug prices are a bazaar of smoke and mirrors.
I'm shopping for Onglyza, a diabetes medication. With my Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, I pay a $90 co-pay for a 90 day supply. And Part D pays the rest. But after two refills, the "real" cost of the drug pushes me into the yearly "coverage gap," which means I have to pay $447USD for my last 90 day scrip each year....or half of the $900USD supposedly real cost of 90 tablets.
So far, I've found a 90 day supply runs between $313CAD and maybe $340CAD,- so, for the last quarter of the year, I can pay $447USD for Onglyza or go to Canada and pick up my last 90 day supply for $234USD.
Finding a Canadian walk-in clinic to authorize my purchase eats into the savings, but it's still worth it if I'm visiting Canada.
The more I look at Medicare Part D, the more I believe it's a huge bonanza for the drug manufacturers, a small benefit for seniors, and a costly entitlement for taxpayers. And the more I understand why so many Americans cross the border to buy the medicines they need.
