Why don't they just buy it in Germany, then? Shipping can't be 80$?

In fact I just checked, DHL ships a parcel of 2kg from Germany to the USA for 18$, A 5kg parcel is 42$.

Pharmacies are heavily regulated. They're probably only allowed to sell to domestic customers.

Then that's one thing to look at for reasons. And maybe deals can be struck.
