I just ran in to a scam pharmacies run. An old generic drug I needed was usual about $5 to $8 dollars for 30 pills. A powerful NSAID that only works for my occasional tennis elbow. I called and got a prescription. When I went to pick it up it was $85 for 15 pills. It was because they put it in a new “gelcap.” What the heck. No, just give me the old pill.
Another drug.... SAME EXACT PILL SAME EXACT PACKAGE. They are made in India and sold in 10 pack blister packages. India. 80 cents per 10 pack. Here, about 50 times as much. There are much more in on the markup scams then just the pharmacy companies.
It doesn’t help that giant CVS also owns Cigna health insurance.
