Does Neiman-Marcus have a pharmacy?!?!
I've never heard of Lorabid costing this much.
I've asked a local pharmacy for the cash price for Lorabid, Ceclor and 
generic Cefaclor and will post what I find out tomorrow.

Also in reference to my Lorabid vs. Ceclor post from earlier today, I was only comparing Lorabid with Ceclor, not with other antibiotics.  There are obviously times when, if a broad-spectrum antibiotic is indicated, either a different Cephalosporin, Augmentin, Biaxin, or Zithromax would be more appropriate than either Lorabid or Ceclor.
