Nearly $100 per pill Edit: nearly $50 per pill, thought a course was 15 pills instead of 30. Still outrageous.
minus-square@mortreklinkEnglish17•7 months agoMy life saving benlysta is something like $3k/mo before insurance, $1k/mo after, but luckily I get it basically free… For now. Drug pricing is crazy. They want to recoup their r&d, but almost nobody even pays the full cost. Why not just charge something reasonable…
minus-square@winterayars@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•7 months agoThey just want to line their pockets. At lot of this stuff they don’t even pay the research on, or did so long ago (like insulin) that they recouped the cost many times over.
