Abstract

A review of the average wholesale price for aspirin, omeprazole, and Yosprala(Table 2) shows that if a patient purchases a single bottle of 120 EC-ASA 81 mg or 100 tablets of EC-ASA 325 mg and 2 boxes of enteric-coated 20 mg tablets of omeprazole (taking 2 tablets a day to equal 40 mg), the estimated cost is $42 per month, whereas a 30-day supply of Yosprala is $180.
