All drugs are strong!. It just depends on what works for you and what doesn't!. If you want prices on specific drugs, call your local pharmacy and ask for prices!. Be prepared to have the name of the drug, the strength (10mg, etc!.), and how many per month you will be taking (30 if once daily, 60 if twice daily, etc!.)!. If there is a generic available, ask for the generic price!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
