Can the president lower drug prices?
The president has announced a new initiative to lower certain drug prices. There is no doubt cheaper drugs can be bought from overseas, as he threatens. My own research, most of which has appeared in the peer review literature, shows that the prices of medicines bought from overseas via web pharmacies are overwhelmingly cheaper than US-sourced medicines.
All of the medicines above passed quality control and were authentic. There were some substandard and fake medicines sourced mainly from China and India, but these were not bought from credentialed web pharmacies, only from sites not credentialed by
www.pharmacychecker.com or the Canadian Internet Pharmacy Association.
