in the streets! I never worked for a pharmaceutical house, but I did work 15 years for manufacturer of tablets & capsules. They are all made the same way, whether they contain vitamins or some controlled drug. I was the accountant so I know what they cost to make. That's why the drug manufacturers are all making $$ hand over fist!

I believe everybody thinks these businesses deserve to make a nice profit, but NOT an exorbitant profit! They make items that are life saving & necessary, but they've become greedy & that has to stop.
