my *copay* through my insurance was $110 for a two-week supply, or $2860/year (25% of full price, which would make the full-price medication $11,440/year). Now that the generic is available, a 3-MONTH supply is roughly $450, or $1800/year (full price of generic is then $7200/year, or approximately 37% less).

I doubt her copay is 25% drug cost. For 40mg/0.4mL solution, one year supply costs a lot more than $11,440 per year.

Based on drugstore.com price, 20 syringes of Lovenox cost $708.45, generic cost $533.13, so the discount to customers is 24.75%.
