Pazeo verus Generic Patanol from France: the cost of drops in the US are expensive

A favorite patient shared her story about using anti-allergy drops in the US versus in France.

She ran out in France and asked the pharmacist for the closest equivalent to Pazeo. The Opatanol which they gave her was 5Euros compared to her $50 Pazeo and it worked better for her.

She gets Estrogen patches in the US for $200 but it cost 5 Euro in France.
Shocking!

US medical doctors and especially pharmaceutical companies will discourage this practice given the risks, but this price difference is ridiculous.
