Of course, in Canada pharmacies follow their provinces' drug formularies vis-Ã -vis pricing, with any price differentials being due to dispensing fee and ancillary services offered..
I have found that pharmacists will adjust their prices downward when pressured. When my health plan only partially refunded a purchase, I asked and was told that the pharmacy was charging too much per pill.
I went to the pharmacy (a national chain) with the information and advised, "You either charge X per pill or I go to another pharmacy." They dropped the price.
