... And in the meantime, the same medicine (commercialised there as Indocid) costs €3.78 in France (https://www.vidal.fr/medicaments/gammes/indocid-4902.html) provided you pay the full price.

That essentially means it's literally 10x cheaper to take a two-way ticket to France, have a doctor prescribe it there, buy 3 months worth of treatment and come back to the US.

I wonder how Americans can tolerate this situation.
