Drug prices vary from pharmacy to pharmacy for a number of reasons, e.g. when buying different quantities of medicines in wholesalers, pharmacies receive different discounts on them - usually the more pieces, the greater the discount. Not every pharmacy has a demand for a given preparation, therefore, having only a few pieces in stock, and not a few hundred - it can be more expensive. The prices of medicines in pharmacies also depend on the pharmacy margin - each facility has its own margin, which is added to the purchase price of the drug from the wholesaler. The different price of the same drug in the pharmacy does not affect the quality - it comes from the same source.
