Glaxo Charges Double Us Prices

[gamini]

Glaxo charges double the price for its Blood sugar testing strips than in the US.

Why are they allowed to get away with this?

Last I knew this was not the US and it is not a price control item AFAIK. There Zyloric [Allopurinol] price convinced me to use a local brand. That option may not be available for test strips; but a different meter is.

Even finding test strips is a problem most places here - and have never seen Accu-Check Aviva for sale so order from Ebay UK when required - normal five day service I have found.

If you reside in Thailand permanently, I'd suggest you get Accu-Chek Performa meter, cheap around 2400THB for the meter. Unfortunately, they don't hand out free meter here. But the strips are relatively inexpensive 25 strips for 360THB.
