~This medicine is for sale here in the Netherlands, over the counter, for $3.3 dollars. No that period is not a mistake.~
~That's for a pack of 6 tablets. How the heck do they end up at $13 cost?~
Edit: Google autocorrected to a similar drug. This specific drug is actually $4.50 per tablet here and prescription only. That's still a massive difference.
Relevant sidenote: it's fully covered as well so I wouldn't even get a bill.

Yes. It is like someone told you a canCoca ColaCoke in US is $220, and their latest innovation is to give you the same for $20.
All while you are picking one up at a convenience Store in EU for $1 and you can get a pack of 8 in a large supermarket for $3.
As you walk out of the convenience Store while drinking your coke, you are left wondering what the hell is going on with people and the world across the pond.
And that medicine is likely subsidized. If this company is truly transparent, then we can see that it cost more than $3.30 to make it. So you are paying more, just in taxes.
