How can I buy Catapres-TTS patches (for treating high blood pressure) at a lower price?
You can find Catapres-TTS patches at a much lower price (over an 80% savings) by taking advantage of the fact that it is sold outside the U.S., by the same company that distributes it in the U.S., at a fraction of the cost.
Catapres-TTS, the brand name for clonidine transdermal patch — a medication approved for use to treat hypertension — is distributed in the U.S. by a Germany-based pharmaceutical company called Boehringer Ingelheim. A generic version manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals is also available in the U.S.
