The pharmacy nearest to me charges $25 for an ounce of the ointment. They mix it up in batches and put it into 1 ounce containers. They get a lot of calls for it. I used to have another pharmacy mix it up one script at a time and they charged much more. They were considering the loss of the tubes that they were not going to be able to sell. But even this pharmacy charged only $50. This was not a compounding pharmacy and they weren't used to compounding prescriptions. If you can find a compounding pharm. and can let them know that they will get the business of your clients you may be able to get a better price since they will be mixing for several vials.
