Question

Soaring Cost of Medications

With the increased cost of medications, many people look elsewhere to try to get their prescriptions filled. Some people will go on the internet to find pharmacies in Canada or go to Mexico. Look up some online pharmacies outside the United States and compare prices. Do you think these places are legitimate? Would you recommend this to a patient who cannot afford the medications in the U. S.? List the sites you find that you think are okay?

Answer 1

Comparing drug pricing outside United States:

a. 250 mg azithromycin :

price in US - 25 $ (6 tablets)

price in India - 3 $ (6 tablets)

b. Pantoprazole DR 40 mg :

price in US - 10 $ (14 tablets)

price in India - 2 $ (14 tablets)

c. Levofloxocin 500 mg :

Price in US - 16 $ (3 tablets)

price in US - 1 $ (3 tablets)

I think more then legitimacy it is a question on affordability , Americans spend more on prescription drugs — average costs are about $1,200 per person per year. Cost of prescription drugs have increased exponentially in recent years and sourcing drugs from outside US seems to be a viable solution for now, I would recommend this to patients who cannot afford medication in US .

list of sites :

1. alliance.pharmacy

2. gmhs.pharmacy

3. fortinos.pharmacy
