Where to get Ketotifen? Info on Clarks pharmacy please
05/09/12 at 08:36:11
 
Hi,

I know I've read on here that a bunch of people use Clarks compounding pharmacy to get Ketotifen but I couldn't find the old posts.  Can someone please share Clarks contact information.  Also how much does it cost you?  I have a compounding pharmacy I use in NJ who is able to get Ketotifen but it's going to cost $175/ month for 30 capsules.  This sound about right?  Also, what's your dose.  My doc is going to be writing me a script.

Thank you,
Tina

That sounds much too expensive if the quote was for 30 1-milligram capsules.

Hi Tina, I use Clark's and I pay 54.00 plus shipping for 120 1mg pills which last me one month, as I take it 4 times a day.
Clark's Pharmacy
15615 Bel Red Rd, Bellevue, WA
(425) 881-0222

Hope this helps. The owner Mark Clark is pretty nice and very helpful.

Missy;
I've always thought they were reasonable too but-
I pay $43.51 for 60, 1mg caps. I take 2 per day.
$29.00 of that is for the ketotifen, the rest is UPS.
I'm no math whiz, but it seems I'm not getting as
much for my money... Huh

I get a number of meds from compounding pharmacies. The cost always depends on the dose, how many capsules are ordered at once, and the actual drug cost. It is often cheaper per pill to get more at once. I get a three month supply from Clark's each time, and it costs me around $180 for 270 - 2 mg. capsules, including the shipping. So that comes out to around $60 per month for a 6 mg daily dose.

A lot of money, but way less than Tina woudl pay at her local pharmacy for a one month supply!

Thanks everyone.  I went with Clarks and Mark was very helpful and  informative not only to me but also my allergist who called in the script.

Just need to work up the courage to try it:)

Just start slow. It will be fine. I know for many of us we hear others say they react to so many meds and we presume this will happen to us too. But this just might work for you. It might be the one. I hope it is, and I know everyone is different and we all react differently. The past isn't always an indicator of the future. I really hope it works for you and I'm wishing you the best.
