How much does Prokarin cost?
In April 2010, an 1-month worth of stock (30 dermal discs) of Prokarin cost around US$250 / 270 Canadian Dollars / €200. For the up-to-date prices, you should get in touch with EDMS or "The Medicine Shoppe" pharmacy, in Ontario, Canada.
The spicy sum is due to the patent & licensing costs required to use the transdermal discs (patches), not for the medication itself.
