Exact same medicine it just comes from the UK where they have laws that limit the amount they can charge for the medicine.
Yes I get psoriasis sometimes. The ointment that I use here in the US cost me $160.00 for a small 60g tube. The exact same medication in Canada for twice the amount 120g is only $57.00.

One of the many reasons I'm thinking of permanently leaving the US.
