I honestly don't understand how this is happening. The drug is no longer under patent. If that's the case, isn't anybody allowed to manufacture it? How does this company have exclusive rights?

How does this company have exclusive rights? generics are expensive to make and toxoplasmosis affects a relatively small amount of people. the drug was already cheap, been around for 4 decades and there was no real need for another copy. the cost for the drug was 13 bucks and generic may only reduce it to 7 or 6. not profitable enough. when this despicable oval office bought the drug there was no need. now there is and he intentionally restricted the samples needed to make one. his logic falls flat completely as there is absolutely no need for a new toxoplasmosis medication. companies who make generics need: 1) to purchase or free up equipment to make it 2) establish a high quality generic 3) establish a supply line for precursors i predict that there will be a generic for this drug and other 'specialty drugs' that are being bought off by useless hedge fund parasites who serve no purpose on this earth and who should be executed and fed to animals so they can be the poo poo they are. and that hospitals and clinics will stock cheaper alternatives that might be less effective or have greater side effects because gently caress paying 750.

Also, there are a ton of drugs which are FDA approved, but really old and don't have submissions for them. They're basically grandfathered products that aren't compliant with all regulations but since there's a need for them they're still produced. The FDA allows a company exclusivity to a generic under a few circumstances, and producing a submission for grandfathered products is one of them. Some less scrupulous companies (such as the one the CEO for Turing was previously fired from) will use this exclusivity to jack up prices hundreds or thousands of percent.

TEAYCHES posted:medicare is required by law to not negotiate and has to pay full asking price Yeah that's a big part of the problem for drug prices actually. Since the rest of the civilized world uses a national healthcare system, their governments get to negotiate drug prices. But since 'Mericans scream about ARE FREEDUMBS, we managed to create a healthcare system where it is literally illegal for their government to negotiate on their behalf to lower drug prices. This whole thing is basically lol if you're an American

Some of these meds, such as the common albuterol sulfate, increased 40-fold in cost; others have risen by a staggering 17,000% (although it should also be noted that some major meds, such as Lipitor, have actually gotten cheaper). All told, 14 generic drug makers were asked to provide data on what justified these price jumps by members of Congress. so not only has he called attention to this practice, it was already being investigated and he accelerated this investigation basically ten fold. who said this gibbering retard was smart again? pharma better pray that only this practice gets curtailed and not the ones they might generally need to cover the r&d costs of failed drugs (tbh, there are a lot of drugs that fail and they honestly do need to be paid for otherwise we'd never get any new drugs as shareholders are stingy cunts anyway who are poorly suited to science, which is basically short term failures, long term gains. which is the complete opposite way the market works, which rewards short term suicide and not long term saftey). there's just been way too much fuckery going on for far too long. and the poo poo they are doing with 40+ year old meds is loving inexcusable.

I posted a link earlier that basically said about Turing's CEO "Good job making this an issue in an election year you loving idiot". Fortunately, in isuprel and nitropress's case there are other manufacturers although they'll probably raise their prices too. I think it's going to get worse with generic companies consolidation (such as Pfizer's acquisition of Hospira, Teva acquiring Allergan's generics, etc). R&D is a huge cost, but the obvious counter argument is you've spent more on advertising than R&D AND you still recouped enough to pay for bringing two more drugs to market. And yeah, wall streets priorities are toxic to pharma. Valeant's CEO said about the price hikes that his responsibility to is their shareholders, when in actuality Valeant's responsibility is provide safe and effective drugs to people who need drugs to you know... not die. It sucks that the only way that there is ever enough public support to fix regulatory issues is for a bunch of people to die. It's going to be tough for pharma when drug patent laws start changing, but then again, changing a pill's shape and color isn't really a good reason to prevent a drug going off-patent anyway enough effort posting. I hope this dude gets hit by a bus

It really does confuse me how we can have so many people that are straight up dying to long term stuff like untreated cancers or infections due to a for-profit health care industry and yet not a single one of them grabs a knife and goes Saw 1 through 4 on an insurance company executive or twenty. They've got nothing to lose and there's untold thousands of them. Why can't that kind of murder spree catch a week on the 24 hour news channels and spawn a few dozen copycat killers instead of all the other retarded spree killers?
