Can’t find Polysporin over the counter in the US. I have to bring my own.
Haven't shopped in the right stores. We buy it because my wife and son are allergic to Neosporin.

I just say we are about 3 hrs north of Seattle. So similar weather. I always answer distance questions with time, lol.
Went to CVS? Had to ask pharmacy because I didn’t see the polysporin eye drops or ophthalmic ointment on shelf. My daughter has a tendency to get pink eye in Florida. Maybe pools? Now we pack it.Haven't shopped in the right stores. We buy it because my wife and son are allergic to Neosporin.
By the time I get thru i5 traffic it’s about 3 hrs from home. Unless of course my car decides to veer off the road at Premium OutletsIs that by car or dog sled.

Pharmacist said it’s only by Rx
Yes, we have ophthalmic drops or ointment over the counter for Polysporin. I think a new one just came out that says Pink Eye. Don’t know if it’s new formulation or just re-named old one.OK I see the issue. To me Polysporin is only an antibiotic creme or ointment. In Canada you guys must be able to buy it as an eye drop over the counter.
Down here any antibiotic thats not a first aid type cream is a prescription. Particularly when dealing with pink eye, thats going to require a Dr visit.

Well this is what I found. $60.
It's about $15.00CAD at the store by my place... that's less in USD. There's also one for ear infections around the same price.
Yikes $60.00. That’s the one alright but I don’t think it’s $60 here. I’ll have to go look now at the drugstore while I’m at the mall tomorrow.Well this is what I found. $60.
Real Canadian Superstore in Ontario has it listed on line for $14.97. You're safe.Yikes $60.00. That’s the one alright but I don’t think it’s $60 here. I’ll have to go look now at the drugstore while I’m at the mall tomorrow.
Not sure where they get this price from?

Funny, I just looked up and saw Stupid Store here in BC has it for a Loonie more. Lol.Real Canadian Superstore in Ontario has it listed on line for $14.97. You're safe.
Wow! I wouldn't buy from there, for sure!

I just looked up prices here, and it’s $15-$17 at drugstores. In CAD, which in USD would be about 30% less!

I tried it. It does say $60. Also, if you go to the bottom and click the US flag, you can change to a Cdn flag. Then it comes up in CAD - $72.00!!! No way I'd buy from there. They must be located in the US, so they can charge that premium.Yea I'm looking at that price and know with my insurance plan I would probably have a $3-4 co pay if there was a generic. So even factoring in my Dr appt co pay its half the price.
When you guys pull up the website does it also say $60 for you? Wondering if it knows I'm in the US and is charging me some sort of import duty. But in reality they probably wouldn't sell it to me since its probably illegal.
I sometimes find prices like this online and just wonder how they get this price since its multiples times higher than at other places.

Who's going to pay these prices for Five Alive or Crush?
If you look at other things that selller has, it's all hugely expensive. It's almost as if it's bulk buying, but I can't see that being the case. For example:
