How many people would honestly do price comparison shopping when it comes to purchasing simple prescribed medicine from the doctor? I think for most the natural assumption is when the doctor give you the prescription note you would then simply give it to a pharmacist and get the prescription. Today I was being told how most pharmacies that are located say within the same building of a medical building or doctors office tend to jack up the prices. Granted that may be due to various issues such as building rental fees that may cost more. To me I guess that is just like any other company charging a premium for the convenience factor and taking advantage of the location.
The person was then telling me how if you ever want to save money on items like those it’s usually a lot cheaper to go elsewhere to get your prescriptions such as in the grocery stores that have a pharmacy. Just kind of feels weird to implement that kind of mindset when it comes to a scenario where you would think you can just freely follow a person’s direction as it is a health issue huh?
