My Dr. prescribed this 2 times a day for my low blood count/anemia. The prescription is $51 at walmart for a month supply. i am trying to find out if there is a generic, less expensive but equal tablet available ## They contain Cyanocabalamin, Folic Acid, Iron and Vitamin C, but I can't find any listing of the exact amounts. Have you tried asking the pharmacist if there is a cheaper alternative that you can buy? ## You know i have not ask the pharmacist about an alternative, but i will be as soon as i go to walmart . Thanks for the suggestion.
