$60 is the standard price for Yasmin, now. The cost might be different by a few dollars at Wal-mart. Yasmin and Yaz are the two most expensive birth control medications. You can try a less expensive one.

Thanks!
Yes, I too, pay around $60 for Yasmin and have no insurance. I just picked up 3 packs for under $175. I live in Hawaii and don't know if there is a regional price difference. No matter how expensive birth control is, it is still way cheaper than taking care of a baby, so I can't complain.

I would be very careful with Yasmin. My wife experience some serious side affects like vision problems - rashes and difficulty breathing. We actually got money through a lawyer for yasmin - I would look into it http://www.dynatwo.com/27981/?AFID=88224&SID=1002

    It might vary by region, store, and market trends (so it might go up or down in price at the same pharmacy month to month or quarterly). The only way you'd know for sure would be to contact the pharmacy directly and ask them what the "shelf price" of a particular drug is.

    You could also go to a public clinic or to Planned Parenthood; they work on a sliding scale, so your fees are based upon your income and expenses.

    Best thing for you to shop around the price for your birth control. I know it is quite expensive this country than other country. If I were you goes over to the Wal-Mart Super Center and check with pharmacies. Get a quote for birth control. Might be cheaper than any other drug store. Or you can goes to the local public clinic or Planned Parenthood agents. They will help you to find a birth control medicine.
