Disgusting... but most of pharmaceutical companies act like that. The same happens with Hepatitis C medicine for example.

Just go to India, you can get these pills for like, 5 cents. No, really, I just looked it up. Three to seven rupees.

"... the companies before us were almost giving it away... $13.50, and you only need less than 100 pills, so at the end of the day, the course of treatment—to save your life—was only $1,000, and we know these days ... cancer d--gs can cost $100,000 or more, rare disease d--gs can cost a million dollars"

Probably true that a life is worth more than $1,000. :rip:

Is it really AIDS? I thought it was for some lungs disease related pill....

I think I read it's to do with your immune system, so it can be used on a number of people with an illness that effects it, it is mostly used for AIDS patients though?

I feel like they have a cure for everything, but the big guys in the industry are putting their big dicks there to monopolize everything and take a lot of money :smh:

Capitalism at its best. Always doing the right thing for wrong people. The suppliers and manufacturers of this d--g are going to make lots of money, whether they plow it back into other medical research or not is questionable but I highly doubt it. Surely it doesn't cost anywhere near that much to manufacture if they've been happy to sell it at the lower figure for some time now.

Hm. But if a company comes up with a new a d--g, shouldn't they be able to set the price? It's their product.

Giving me Solaris teas. It costs less than 20$ to make but they sell it for $10,000.

It's because only a few % of people use it, so why not make money? I find that very stupid, not all people have that much money. 

Also, Daraprim is used for Malaria and HIV 

I like dancin', and ponies....

I remember a year or so ago these scientists were close to finding a way to kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells. Before they even finished their research there were companies rushing to place bids, put down contracts, the research was over whelmed and eventually halted. I think someone else picked it up later but I stopped following the story after hearing about greed crushing the hopes of a cure to one of the most devastating diseases.

Whimsical bitch
