Many drug stores, including Medplus, deliver your pharmaceutical orders home.  There's no need to navigate traffic; no need to find a parking place on busy streets.

The cost of generic, maintenance drugs is amazingly inexpensive.  Here's a listing of prices for a Medplus Pharmacy customer (anyone who provides a mobile number is entitled to a discount off of  already low prices) for some common drugs.  All prices are per drug/tablet.

1. Simvas (Simvastatin) 20 Mg - the generic for Lipitor - INR 9.18. 
2. Glyciphage 500 MG - the generic for Metformin - INR 1.12 (yes, one rupee twelve paise)
3. Xyzal - to treat hives - INR 4.98
4. Udiliv - used to treat gallstones - INR 17.73
5. Evion 400 Mg - a vitamin E supplement - INR 1.40
