These are manufactured and available in India in huge amounts and at lower prices than anywhere else in the world. Thyroxine for example costs less than US$ 0.02 per tablet (listed price) - so that a year's supply of tablets is available for about US $5 But Pakistan will not import from India for a multitude of reasons including the fact that Pakistan's major export to India is terrorism and Islamic irredentism which is all that Pakistan seems to be able trade in exchange for imports. They could try their "taller than tallest mountain" friends the Chinese, but spurious drugs from China are part of their problem as far as my knowledge goes. shiv
