Cardura XL (doxazosin mesylate extended release tablets), a product marketed by drug giant Pfizer, is used to treat signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, or an increase in prostate size. Cardura XL is manufactured in the U.S., but available at a much lower price in foreign pharmacies. At a Rite-Aid in New York City, 30 pills (4 mg) costs $94. The lowest price from a PharmacyChecker.com approved pharmacy is $26. That’s a 72% savings or $816 over one year.

Lumigan (bimatoprost) ophthalmic solution is used for the treatment symptoms from glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Lumigan, a product of the drug company Allergan, is manufactured in the U.S., but the price at U.S. pharmacies is about six times higher than in other countries. You can save around 80% by ordering it from a verified international online pharmacy: one 2.5 ml vial of Lumigan costs $114 at a Rite-Aid in New York City, but a 3 ml vial is only $22 from a PharmacyChecker.com-approved pharmacy.

Invega (paliperidone) tablets, a product of Jansen Pharmaceuticals, are used to treat schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in adults and adolescents. Invega is manufactured in the U.S., but is cheaper when ordered in other countries, even for Americans. The price at a New York City CVS for a 90-day supply of Invega 6 mg is $1,932, and that’s even taking into account the savings from a coupon. By ordering from a safe international online pharmacy, the price is only $580. Over one year a consumer could save $5,408 or 70%!
