I have had 2 patients in the last month who have private paid $130 for IVM. One by CVS for 20 tabs, the other by a small independent pharmacy in MA FOR 3 TABLETS! (didn't accept Good Rx). Also, one other patient needed a prior authorization from their insurance co. For. A. Generic. Drug. So, India is getting the business. For now.

GoodRx typically only works in big box stores. Small potatoes pharmacies will often reject the coupons because of apparent PBM clawbacks that result in heavy losses.
But feel free to impose any pain you like on the likes of Wal Mart and CVS. By now I say they've earned it.

Clarification : What's illegal is advertising in and then refusing to accept Good Rx.
