excellent price

Unfortunately this is not on the approved list of meds for my insurance so it costs an arm and a leg, even for generic. Thank you for supplying it and at a very reasonable price. This works great, have not seen any difference in effectiveness vs my U.S. purchased meds. Hoping that it will be in regualr stock after the COVID-19 situation so I can keep a supply on hand.
