Cigna denied my script for tec so I found a compounding pharmacy in Houston..the cost is 150.00 per
Mo. Walgreens cost for tec is 11,000 per mo. Big pharm is very proud of this stuff! Keep plugging along, don't give up!

I'd be weary of a compounder in this situation. The BG12 is encoated to be absorbed after it passes the stomach.

Does your compounder do microencapsulation or anything like that?

DMF digested by stomach acid is different than DMF absorbed through the intestine. If the compounder is throwing a powdery mix of DMF and whatever into a gel cap, I'd seriously reconsider taking it, let alone paying for it.
