A dash means no generic is available in that country. US prices from GoodRX. Canadian prices from Canadapharmacy.com — other CIPA vendors may be cheaper, since they seem to charge a lot more for generics. The data isn't perfect, but it gives you an idea.
A note on payment
PayPal vendors are the easiest starting point. But if you can use Wise or Xe, you can order from every vendor on the list — slightly more effort, considerably more choice.
++ If you're in the US and need abortion healthcare, see PlanCpills.org for telehealth providers and self-managed options.

Some medicines are restricted for export from India and for import to the United States — opiates among them. No Indian vendor will mail-order that class of medicine.
