>I just don't understand why brand has to be so expensive.

The branded drug doesn't cost anymore to manufacture than the generic, it's just that the profit margins for the manufacturer are much higher for the brand. The manufacturer charges so much for the brand in the US because they know that some people will want the brand, and therefore pay.

Xanax is rarely used in the UK, but it is not particularly expensive here. Still, it is a lot more expensive than the benzos which are widely used eg. diazepam and temazepam. Pfizer's wholesale prices for branded Xanax in the UK are currently as follows:

Xanax 0.25mg (pack of 60), £3.18 (+ VAT)
Xanax 0.5mg (pack of 60), £6.09 (+ VAT)
