Perhaps one of the craziest pricing strategies is that of
roxy. Users must be wondering: how much
do roxy 30 mg sell for? Time and time again there are unexplainable
variances in price depending on where and how you purchase it. Some have argued
that these rapid and unwieldy changes in pricing are indicative of an illegal
drug trade particularly in the USA. For
example people in Ohio and Florida may get a prescription for no other reason
than to resell it at a significant profit to unsuspecting clients in other
states.
Abusing the Prescription for a Painkiller
Typically the doctor will prescribe about 240 tablets of roxy 30 mg. This is an essential drug
so those that are in pain will do almost anything to get their hands on it even
if it means paying above market price. An individual is likely to need about 8
tablets a day depending on their level of pain. On average each pill should
cost about $1 so you are looking at a total budget of $240, which should cover
you for a month. Now the really clever patients (or non-patients for that
matter) will do a mark-up of the costs of travelling from one state to another
in order to beat the prescription rules. This is what is known as “sponsoring”
and the practice has been compared to becoming a drug mule. Ultimately they may
decide that it costs them $500 to move from Florida to Ohio including living
expenses. They then add a profit mark-up of about 50%. The total money that
they need to make is therefore a combination of the original $240; the travel
costs of $500; and the profit mark-up of $120. So that batch needs to be sold
for a total of $860. That works out at a price of about $3.59. As you can see
the final price that the end user pays is 3.59 times (a 359% inflation) of the
original real price.
How much do roxy 30 mg sell for?
The example above is just one of the strands of the price
variations that consumers have to deal with. Depending on your need and how
heartless your supplier is, the margins could go considerably higher than the
illustration. Many patients come to a conclusion that they can make a
substantial profit from their own prescriptions particularly if the buyer on
the other end gets hooked to the extent that they take on different and more
intense versions of roxy at
increasing prices. We have not yet even tackled the possibility that the drugs
could be exported to Mexico, Peru and Africa where the mark-up could be much
higher; going into the ridiculous realms of 1000% profit. India and Pakistan
can provide cheap alternatives at about $13 a pill but more often than not,
these products are fake and harmful. Those who are lucky enough to live in
Canada or Western Europe could get the drug for free. Some manufacturers like Covidien/Mallinckrodt
have tried to stem the tide with some rebate coupons under a patient assistance
program but that does not cover everybody. So next time someone asks: how much do roxy 30 mg sell for? Answer
them with a rhetorical question as follows: How long is a piece of string?
