Please note that prices may vary substantially for different brand
names. When more than one option were available, I chose the less
expensive one. If you want others to compare, just let me know and
I'll be glad to add that information. Also, whatever aspect of the
answer you may find that needs further explanation or information,
please ask me before you rate it. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the rating and comment on my answer. As to the
currency, it's USD. I obtained the information in Argentine pesos
(ARS) and converted it to USD before posting it.
Now, I've seen in another question of yours that a fellow researcher
has suggested that these prices might be inaccurate. I welcome the
alert because our askers deserve precise information. I'll be in
Buenos Aires by Tuesday, and there I'll try to get other sources to
check the prices' accuracy. You'll hear from me in a few days.
Best regards,
Guillermo

Hello mick_healy-ga,
This evening I received the information I requested a few days ago
from a pharmacist in Buenos Aires. While I haven't confirmed whether
I'm authorized to mention the source, you can take my word that this
is first hand information from an established pharmacy in Buenos
Aires.
You'll see three figures for each product, where the first one is the
retail price, the second one the standard wholesale price, and the
third one the wholesale price agreed between the wholesaler and than
particular pharmacy (14% discount on standard wholesale price).
All the prices are in American dollars.
Currency Conversion Rates (according to xe.com Universal Currency
Converter (http://www.xe.com/ucc/ ); live mid-market rates as of
2005.06.14 01:29:22 UTC.):
1 USD = 2.87875 ARS
1 ARS = 0.347373 USD
LISTAFLEX (carisoprodol): 7.74 - 6.19 - 5.33
GLUTASEDAN (diazepam): 2.43 - 1.94 - 1.67
INSOMMIUM (zopiclona): 10.35 - 8.28 - 7.12
ALPRAZOLAM LUAR: 3.65 - 2.92 - 2.51
TOPAMAC (topiramato): 27.12 - 21.69 - 18.65
SIBUTRAMINA NORTHIA: 12.51 - 10.00 - 8.60
SOMIT (zolpidem): 8.65: 6.92 - 5.95
According to this information, standard wholesale prices are in
average 6.8% lower than my original estimates, and special agreements
can reach at least an additional 14% discount on standard wholesale
prices.
I hope you find this information useful.
Sincerely,
Guillermo
