Here is the crazy reality of the world and medicine pricing in the US.

I take two medications for Asthma. The inhaler I mentioned and another medicine I take twice a day everyday. The regular medicine costs $320 for a 30 day supply.

I buy it online where I can still get the generic inhalers and I pay an average of about $9 per inhaler. The other medicine I also buy online and the 30 day supply is $70.

So assume I use 1 30 day supply of regular medicine and 2 inhalers per month. In the US that will cost me around $420. Online from a different country I pay about $98 and they give me free shipping.
