Products in the pharmacy vending machines are in general more affordable to counterparts in a retail pharmacy. The priority of the IU Student Health Center Pharmacy is to improve accessibly to affordable, non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Should we give an example? An example of this commitment to affordability is with the XXX product. The OTC item is approx. $XX in the pharmacy vending machines, while other retail stores have this priced around XX.
