Unfortunately, many of those affected by Type 2 Diabetes are without prescription drug coverage and have to pay for there medication out of pocket. So, today I would like to take a look at the average cost of both the brand and generic versions of Metformin online, and compare those prices to the ones in Freebee Foreign Pharmacies database.

Metformin is the most commonly prescribed prescription medication for Type 2 diabetes. Metformin is taken orally, and is only used to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes. It works by lowering blood sugar when it is too high, and by helping restore the way the body uses food to make energy. Glucophage and Glumetza are two of the more popular brand name versions of Metformin.

In order to compare the prices of Metformin, Glucophage, and Glumetza, we must find out what the going rate for each drug is. To do this, I Googled each different brand of Metformin, as well as the generic version, and averaged the price from the first 5 pharmacy results in Google for that brand, then compared the averaged price to the prices in Freebee’s drug database.

Since different pharmacies offer their medication in different amounts, I broke all costs down into price per pill, and used the most commonly prescribed dosage of 850 mg for Metformin and Glucophage, and 500 mg for Glumetza.

As expected, the generic version, Metformin came in with the lowest price per pill average at $.58. Glucophage came in second at $.83 cents per pill, and Glumetza last at $1.13 per pill. Remember, these results were the average of the first 5 pharmacies that came up when searching on google for each brand, which means that safety, quality, and fast delivery are not guaranteed.

Now lets see how freebee’s pharmacies stack up against the competition. The average price of the top 5 pharmacies in our database for Metformin was $.45 cents per pill ($.13 cheaper per pill). As I moved on to the brand versions, the saving just got larger. I found that Glucophage was $.13 per pill ($.70 cheaper per pill) and Glumetza was $.57 per pill ($.56 cheaper per pill)

In conclusion, using Freebee’s comparison shopping search engine you can get the more expensive brand version of Metformin (Glucophage) for $.45 per pill cheaper than the average online pharmacy price for the generic version. When filling a prescription of 300 pills, that is a savings of $300.00! Not to mention that all the pharmacies in our database have been personally checked for both safety and quality, and are licensed in their home countries and verified by independent U.S. authorities.

Why take the risk of getting swindled or hurt from a rogue pharmacy when you can fill your prescription from a safe verified pharmacy for much Cheaper?
