For those who take Jardiance what is your cost if you do not mind sharing...My hub pays $450 for 3 month supply.  Is this a pretty "normal" price?

@bargainsgirl - I don't about the drug you were asking about but I do know that most drug prices went up in January - hubby's one med jumped from less than $50 for a three month supply to over $400 for a month's supply.

I absolutely hate the Jardiance commercials! Somehow, singing and dancing about a medical condition just doesn't seem right!

Yes, that just might be the worst commercial EVER. I can't mute it fast enough! And have you noticed there's now a second version featuring the same horrible song but with different performers? MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

Sorry, @bargainsgirl, for being of no help but Jardiance struck a nerve. HA! All I can say is my friend mentioned several months ago that her husband is taking Mounjaro and I think the cost was even higher that what you mentioned. I wasn't paying much attention but do remember thinking, "WOW!"

"Jardiance is really swell" though LOL

Horrible commercial is right!

@bargainsgirl 

Sorry about that increase!!  I don't take it but my thyroid med went from $55 for 3 mos to $120 in January !  OUCH!

I take Synjardy, which is Jardiance and metformin I believe. The cost is about $850 per month. When I was on Blue Cross work insurance I usually paid $25 a month. Now that I am on Medicare, I pay $11.00 a month, when I hit the doughnut hole, it jumps to around $165 per month. 

I also do not like the Jardiance singing commercial LOL.

@KingstonMom my brother-in-law takes it and somehow I just can't picture him bursting through the front door and dancing down the street while singing about the wonders of one little pill.

That is a high amount.  I only pay twenty dollars a month for my Jardiance.

@KingstonMom - I really hate the original Jardiance commercial with the obviously overweight woman singing and dancing about how "one little pill" makes everything okay.

How about lose weight, control your diet, then see if you still need the "one little pill"?

Yes, I'm sure it helps some people who can't otherwise control their Type II diabetes, but Big Pharma just wants to sell another "miracle cure", IMO.

("I have Type II diabetes, but I manage it well" No, you don't. "It's a little pill with a big story to tell." Yep, just take a pill and it's all better.)

@Venezia some people just aren't able to get their A1C under 7 no matter what they do...
