You just can't compare US n Indian prices. Glyxambi which is no1 drug costs about 190$ for a pack of three in US whereas its available at 9$ in India that too because it's patented now.

Sir,I just wanted to say how multinational pharmaceutical cos. manipulate various parameters to dump their products.Not only in diabetes but other parameters also,today they say something and after a couple of years they say something else,with the connivance of doctors who are on their payroll and they prescribe only costly medicines whereas a much cheaper generic is available in market.

Absolutely. I agree. If generic medicine available then better to go for it. But no options in patented medicine.

Sir,even in patented medicines,there is big loot....for example just check the price of AritelAm and ozotelAM,both having Telemistran 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg as base drug.
