E-drug: drug costs
------------------
Dear E-druggers,
We are comparing the net ingredient cost paid by the pharmacist and the
total purchase cost paid by the patient for some of the newer
antidepressants and antipsychotics in different countries. Would it be
possible for you to provide the costs for the following drugs in the listed
strengths and amounts or put us in touch with someone who could provide
them.
Thanks in advance.
Warmest regards,
Larry
