$70 for a 3 month supply of Lovaza, but maybe $70 a month. It is a good product, about 100% DHA/EPA, and because my last doc wanted it for triglyceride lowering he wanted me to take 4 capsules a day. The OTC stuff seems to be about 30% DHA/EPA which means I needed to take a dozen. Last time I calculated priceit was not too far off - you are right about that. That doctor Rx'd all sorts of extra high priced supplements, as well as one of the oral diabetic medications that clearly was not safe. I will discuss this again with my new doctor in January. Unfortunately Medco does not have a generic high content DHA/EPA fish oil available.
