How are they able to offer generic brands of prescription drugs at such low prices? What do they do differently from traditional pharmacies to offer the drugs so incredibly cheap?

Sometimes the filler is different. drug doesn’t only contain active ingredient, they also have filler that helps increase the size of pills and sometimes aids the body’s ability to absorb it. Generic medicine usually cheap out on filler. Like for example now I’m always carrying 2 types of Cetirizine, the first one is the generic one, ¢30/10 pills, and the prescription one which is $1/pill. The generic one work slowly, it could take 1-2 hours before my rashes subsides, but the prescribed one only take 5 minutes at most, so I mostly use the first one and the prescribed one is the “break out the glass” emergency medicine like if my face suddenly become very puffy.
Ofc the biggest overhead is likely still the administrative, not the material.
