American Made, Cheaper Abroad: Lotemax
A weekly series identifying prescription drugs manufactured in America and their prices.
Lotemax (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) is a prescription-only medication used for the treatment of steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe. It is also used to reduce inflammation following ocular surgery. Lotemax is manufactured in the U.S., but its prices are several times more expensive in pharmacies here compared to those in other countries. You can save 84% by ordering it from a verified foreign online pharmacy: one 5 ml vial of Lotemax costs $188 at a Rite-Aid in New York City, but only $30 from a PharmacyChecker.com-approved pharmacy.
