Re: Ethical issues..medicine pricing : Anupama

[Guest guest]

Hi Anupama

We have example of 1400% (no extra zero due to typo error! I mean

fourteen hundred !!) variation in price of same generic, same

concentration, same formulation of two companies.

The very fact that this difference exists, the one selling 1400%

lesser is also not doing any philantrophy, means it is also earning.

So goes on to show that the other company whose price is 1400%

higher is making >1400%.

Got the equation?

And yet we hear the statements like-

- there is effective control on medicine prices,

- pharmaceutical industry cares for the citizenry,

- medicines are cheap in the country,

- we are doing better than many other countries in medicines,etc;

Stupid brains making nonsense claims with rotten junk.

Sir, I feel If we, as Pharmacologists can do something to bring drugs under price control, we could help in doing justice to the patients.There should a Clinical Pharmacologist in Drug purchase committee of hospitals and also in Price controlling authorities.
