        Best dud excuse for sky-high Big Pharma profits: "They're needed for R&D." Profits are by definition what's left after costs, including R&D.

        the pharmacy didn't give me a receipt unfortunately. Probably because I didn't pay anything

        German price I found is over-the-counter online price; I wonder if it's cheaper under most insurance plans?

        This is complicated. Prices are regulated and negotiated at the same time

        It's mainly bc US govt doesn't negotiate. Other nations get cheap drugs thru monopsony power, not competition

        But that's the cost if you buy it *privately*. Thru the socialised health service, the cost is only £8.40 ($11). @rohitguptahpf

        I don't know if govt negotiation for the Public Health system also impacts the price paid if you buy it privately. @rohitguptahpf
