The price difference for this medication, brand "V-cut" Valium compared with the generic, is HUGE. From what I understand these pills cost over $2.00 each, generic a fraction of that. I understand how expensive brand name drugs can be when there is no generic, but can anyone explain why the brand is still so expensive, even with many generics available, and even considering that the V pills have a neat and appealing look, to some people ?
It's called supply and demand. In a free market, prices are set when a buyer and seller agree on a price. When the buyer pays the price, they're agreeing to it. Obviously, there are plenty of people willing to pay a much greater price than generic's prices for the name-brand Valiums. Why? It's probably the pill fetish discussed in Hogshire's Pills-a-GoGo.
I don't know about Purepac Valiums, but their clonazepam is every bit as good as Klonopin. If i could get a month's worth of Klonopin for just a few bucks more than the Purepac, i'd pay it, but even with insurance, name-brand costs about $50 more a month. That's not worth it to me, but some pay it.
