Retin A

[chris2597]

Is Retin A the same thing as Renova? My dermatologist gave me an rx for Renova, but I found out today that my insurance doesnt cover it and it is $124.....If Retin A is the same thing I will wait and buy it in Nov. Is Renova brand available in the Belize Pharm?

Yes. Renova is just the brand name. You don't have to wait; this was posted on a previous thread and they will send it to you. We're going in a few weeks, so I'll get my supply from them then.

This lady was an American Pharmacist. It's about 12$ plus 1.50 s&h--but e-mail her for exact prices. They require a Banque cheque, W'n Union or International Postal Money Order. Let me know how it works out for you.

 

The reason your insurance co doesn't cover it is b/c it is topical and cosmetic.

Thank you for the reply....I will let you know if I give this a try...

I was actually surprised that the insurance declined it as it was covered several yrs ago when I tried Renova...It was a different med ins....
