Generic Entecort

Just a note. I got my first order from Canada Drugs today. Had to order the Entecort, becuase I cannot afford it from the US. My pharmacist, however tells me that he has generic entecort now available here in the US but it's only about 30% cheaper than the original, so instead of 90 pills costing me $1200 that 90 pills will only cost me $900. Gosh, that made it SOOO much more affordable....NOT!

So anyway, at least I was able to get some, as some of you know, I just cannot afford to buy them, so this was my only option.

I was wondering when generic Entocort would become available here, (because the patent expired on May 15th of this year), but I was afraid that the price would still suck. You have just confirmed that the pharmaceutical industry is out to gouge the citizens of this country for every dollar they can get out of us, because we already know what the generic product costs in other parts of the world, (roughly $120). That means that they expect us to be dumb enough to pay roughly seven and a half times the world price, for the same product. They should all be in prison, for robbery. None of us can afford it, at that rate.

Thanks for the information.
