The pharmaceutical companies will stick it to you every time. They recoup their research and development expenses here in the US with high drug prices. Yes, across the border in Canada or Mx the same drugs are available at drastically reduced prices.
I am a RN who worked in Drug Research for a short time. The amount of $$ spent to wine and dine researchers and staff was A-MAZ-ING!! Then the drugs come to market priced sky high, until generics or competition comes up with a clone and then the prices in the US come down.
Shop around. We get quite a few of our meds from Canadian and Indian pharmacies. I have done my homework and know what I am getting. But even here there are differences between the local pharmacies, Sam's and the grocery stores.
Don't accept a price that high without comparison shopping!
