The Pharmacy makes a profit on the drugs; most businesses use the difference between the wholesale and retail price to cover their costs; they don't add an extra fee.
I have a small business; I don't charge extra to package the product or print the label.
I give all the information about the product for free; written or verbal.
I spend time in other countries. Very familiar with Clinics and Drug prices overseas.
Prescriptions for the same drug from the same manufacturer are a fraction of Canadian Prices. No "Dispensing Fee". The pharmacists have the same or equivalent training to Canadian Pharmacists. Some have trained in Canada or the US.
Canadians are paying far too much for the product, and our so called "Pharmacies" are overcharging us for printing out easily available drug information and counting pills.
