The Phlegmatist posted:Teva (for example) could probably make and sell generic dichlorphenamide for its original on-label use of glaucoma and just have providers rx it off label for periodic paralysis. But when we're talking about such rare conditions in the first place then there's probably not enough money to be made considering the legal risks. I thought the issue with all these decades-old drugs is that even though it's off patent, if you want to produce it as a generic, you have to perform studies to prove to the FDA that it's biologically equivalent to what's already approved and in the market. Meanwhile the private equity group/pharma company has strict distribution controls to keep the existing medication out of the hands of anyone who might want to gain access to it for performing those studies. The common thread I've seen from reading up on these sorts of drugs, Keveyis/dichlorphenamide included, is that you don't just get the stuff at CVS with a script from your doctor. The pharma company has their own distribution channel you and your doctor deal with, so that they can keep it locked down.

Meanwhile the private equity group/pharma company has strict distribution controls to keep the existing medication out of the hands of anyone who might want to gain access to it for performing those studies. You can get the patent renewed by finding a new use for the drug or by combining it with an existing drug. Even when something is a generic it has to be produced at an FDA licensed facility for health and safety reasons. The cost of this licensing is not cheap and licensing is per drug (I believe). This prevents generic manufacturers from switching production when someone else jacks the price up creating an artificial barrier to entry. The current FDA licensing system for generic manufacturing and the drug patent system need ground up rewrites to unfuck them.

If you have health insurance and pick up your prescription at a pharmacy then there are at least five different entities involved in pricing. It's pretty hosed up.Xae posted:The current FDA licensing system for generic manufacturing and the drug patent system need ground up rewrites to unfuck them. The GOP is currently trying to do this because they've accidentally stumbled onto something useful. Bio-equivalence testing is ridiculously expensive.

They blacklisted a bunch of journalists (from the LA Times) all because of an unfavorable article. But yeah, gently caress Disney. My grandmother is literally taking money out of her retirement fund or some poo poo so we can go stay at the Animal Kingdom and go to Disneyworld next year one more time just in case her cancer comes back. (We used to go a lot when I was a kid and she had a little more money) I love Epcot and the Animal Kingdom. I'm excited. I love Disney. But still, it's evil lmao

That's a different scam. These particular vultures abuse a program that is intended to help companies recoup those costs for taking on "orphan drugs" where there is a small population absolutely dependent upon the drug but the previous manufacturer doesn't want to make it anymore. In exchange for going through the trouble of starting production of such a small market yet very important drug the company gets 7 years of exclusive manufacturing rights. The idea was always that prices would rise, but the expectation was that they would double or maybe possibly triple to let the manufacturer make bake their initial costs. At its heart it is a good idea - double price is better than no medication at all - but badly needs hard price controls. What you are thinking of is what scummy companies who can't abuse that program do. You however missed a key twist - even if they could get their hands on enough for the comparison studies, nobody wants to start making a competing generic in the first place. They know the vulture company has already more than paid off their initial purchase and will absolutely win a price war slashing the price down to their marginal cost of manufacturing. In that case suddenly the new entrant has zero chance of recouping initial costs to set up manufacturing and pretty much will be forced to either abandon the drug to make something else or keep making the drug out of spite to prevent the vultures from raising prices.

So if someone started production today, that period of exclusivity and Donald John Trump's leadership of the free world would end at about the same time?

In Ontario you dont need a prescription for insulin and theres no tax on diabetic supplies so it ends up being ludicrously cheap after the exchange rate is factored in. Its terrifying that people need to take those kinds of measures just to survive in America.

It's been posted in this thread before, but there's a piece on Alex Azar that talks about a dude that died from complications from diabetes after his gofundme for insulin came up 50 dollars short. This poo poo is insane and infuriating on so many levels.
