Pharmacy Price List Available

David J. Flores of San Francisco checked prices of drugs commonly used by persons with AIDS or ARC, at five different pharmacies in San Francisco. Prices usually varied by about 20 percent, in a few cases much more. The drugs included AZT, Acyclovir, Mycelex, Mycolog II, Halcion, Septra DS, Ketaconazole, Ativan, Trimethoprim, Dapsone, and Atarax; prices were for equivalent generics when available. Persons near San Francisco can use the list directly; persons elsewhere can check the price ranges to see if they are paying too much. We commend Mr. Flores for the public service of putting this list together.
