We have a bizarre system. The only suggestions I’ve seen so far in this thread are can be summed up as “try and buy it under the table from Mexico or Canada.” Its a sad sign of how beaten-down Americans already are to accept such a system.
Government and progressives get their control, but at the cost of paying off crony-capitalists and insiders to run the racket.
They should all collapse.
Find out the real cost to manufacture...it obviously isn’t 6 cents...there is a “UN Critical Mandate” (price manipulation) involved, so I would imagine that “rich” US patients are subsidizing the 3rd world (including Canada). There are also alternatives for about $13.00 a dose. ( https://www.goodrx.com/ivermectin?drug-name=ivermectin ) Albendazole is a highly specialized drug with a very limited US market...perhaps that is why generic manufacturers haven’t jumped in? Or the manufacturing cost is higher than I think, making it unprofitable for the generic manufacturers. Anyway a bad example to tar pharmaceutical companies with...ironically it is sold/made by the company that supplies the cheap generic for “Epipen”. http://www.amedrapharma.com/amedra-pharmaceuticals/

Prices are low in other countries because those countries are socialist.
Also they are charity cases, did you not see that the manufacturer gave away a billion doses for free?
Here few people have the disease and those that do can afford the cost.
Anyone in this country can manufacture the drug and sell it cheaper.
Do it if you think you can make money doing it.
