As for the different names. On newer drugs the original maker owns the drug for a few years. Once that time is over, you can buy it with a "generic" name. Normally a lot cheaper than when the drug was owned by someone. Perhaps you might understand how Viagra was sold. Now it is available as a generic using a different name.
If his staff will give you the name. I'm sure that your local pharmacist will recognize the name. If not, he should have a cross reference book. If not, ask us. I'm sure that we can find several different name. He shold reconize one of them.
I was in the Netherlands many years ago. I caight a simple cold. I was able to buy my normal over the counter drug at the local pharmacy. It took a few minutes but all went well.
Keep asking questions. That is what we are here for. Good luck.
Actually I work for a financial company and we are trained on signs of money laundering. Large sums in the multiple thousands range don't in and of themselves signal a potential risk. They do have to be reported to the government however. It's a simple matter of reporting that requires some personal information from the purchaser's or sender's ID.
What does scream "Money Laundering" is what is known as "Structuring" which is breaking up a large transaction into several smaller ones to avoid reaching the reporting threshold. Do not do this or the transaction can be flagged as suspicious.
