Medicines including Over the counter medicines are getting more expensive. I was thinking of buying Glucosamine tablets and every thing out there is expensive. It was doctor recommended. 60$ for 60 tablets. I could not even imagine paying that big amount for supplements. So do you think medicines are expensive?

yes i do believe that medicine has become very expensive. but i noticed that there r some stores where u can buy some medicine on sale and on discount. one place where u can buy medicine on sale and on discount is a store called GNC (general nutrition center) its a great store for buying that kind of stuff.. i used to work at that store. its a hard job to work at though.

Yes, i do agree with you that medicines these days are very expensive to buy.Pharma is one of the lucrative businesses these days with high margins of profit. The original cost of the medicine that is manufacturing cost is peanuts compared to the over the counter price offered to the customer.

Yes medicine are becoming more expensive. But even price is not a problem now a days In our local area expired medicines were sold in pharmacies. More than the price these selling of expired medicine is big problem.
