Big Pharm Rip-Off

Let's compare the prices of some recent medications I purchased both here in the United States and in Thailand. The medicine was Elidel, a cream for skin problems. The cream was exactly the same, in identical boxes, and both made by Novartis in Germany.

USA price $135.00

Thailand price $62.00

Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it? I guess the Walgreen's here in the states has to charge more to pay their higher rent.
