I don’t use Walmart for prescription drugs anymore. I had problems with certain generic heart medications several times. The drug I was on had a 45 day half life — so the strength had to be significantly off on the downside for me to have the very problem the drug was supposed to prevent.

That aside, it would be nice to see the drug prices in various countries. I remember reading stories and news reports saying that prices to the U.S heavily subsidize prices to other countries.

Generics only have to contain 60% of the recipe to be approved by FDA. Think about that.
