Carvedilol is on the Walmart formulary.
Four bucks, dude, no shipping.
My mom has been taking the generic since it's been available, and according to her cardiologist her heart function has significantly improved.
If you can get your doc to do it, see if he'll write your script for twice your current dosage, and then cut the pills in half ... you'll get two months for the price of one. (coreg is a tablet, not a cap ... or does your doc have you on the CR (once a day extended release?) If so, ask him if you can go on the BID dosing because of the cost differential. The medication is the same except for the time release element.
You can also try hitting your PCP up for samples, that one doesn't always work, though.
Have you already used the coupon?
