Those of you who buy pharmaceuticals overseas may have notice a gradual price increase. This is most likeky caused by the devaluation of the US$. Therefore, it is important to know the country of origin to save the most money.

Third-world currencies are usually the cheapest, & may be dropping at the same rate as the dollar, or faster, so buying from drug stores located in these countries will save you money. (As I write this the dollar appears to be making a mild recovery. Stay tuned, as they say.)

The other day I noticed the UK Pound was about a nickel higher than it was Memorial day weekend. When I was over in the UK, it capped out at $1.65/1. Last week I saw it was at $1.70/1. So I see the issue. Though if it is something one wants badly enough, the extra nickel a dollar won't make a difference.

Thanks for pointing this important issue out though.
