rising costs of birth control

having been on the mini-pill cerazette since the month after i gave birth, i am annoyed to note that its price has been strangely increasing these last couple of months. 


for the longest time, a box of 28 pill was under Php 400 


two months ago, that changed to under Php 500


when i bought a box yesterday, the price is at Php 538 


(whether it is watson's or rose pharmacy or mercury drug makes no difference as prices are more or less uniform across those places for the given time periods)


what is most disappointing is that their manufacturing dates were all 2009, meaning their production costs have nothing to do with the price increase.


this is most annoying. perhaps time to check in with my OB to search for alternatives.
