I'm from a country in western Europe, and our pharmacies are running low. My dad was told several times over the last months that they're out of stock and he should come back next week. Sure, the price here might be okay, but Pharma seems to prefer selling it more expensively elsewhere.

They're probably creating artificial scarcity to increase the prices elsewhere on account of "supply and demand". There's a special place in hell for them.
