1. The price of drugs are regulated. There is no chance such a bullshit drug just combining OTC ingredients are allowed to be sold with such a high price.
2. Since there is no bullshit expensive drugs, doctors don't need to worry about it. Rebate is prohibited, but even if it exists, you can't prescribe the drugs you can't use.
3. I'm not sure about the quality of pharmacy in Japan but they regularly call doctor when they have concerns about the prescription and they switch to generic drugs on default unless patient strongly object not to.
4. Universal Health Care. The govt regulate the insurance so it's either all covered by insurance or nothing.
