About that - for me, it was $3000 for the 2 weeks, but the insurance covered all but something like $90
I'm going OT here, but...
Yeah, it's expensive. I should clear up my earlier statement on this thread: Zyvox is the only "good" drug currently that can be both IV and oral for MRSA. Bactrim I think can be both too, but it's not as effective.
Anyway, insurance companies will gladly pay $3000 for 2 weeks of an oral med, versus keeping you in the hospital for those 2 weeks to get an IV med! And yeah, those dietary restrictions probably suck. Makes one glad they aren't on an MAOI.
