RE: Truth and insight - Pharmaceutical industry (Me as an ex-employee)

in #science6 years ago

And I also told you that I have worked as a laboratory worker there, not a researcher. I got the ingredients and the recipe,and I mixed it using machines specialized to do so. I don't know where did you think of me as a researcher. And yes, I do know prices of active and passive ingredients, and they are very cheap regarding the price of the drug itself.

Sort:  

Drug pricing has nothing to do with the cost of the materials, and everything to do with supply and demand (for generics). For non generic drugs the costs are high as companies must recoup the insane costs for research and clinical trials (tens to hundreds of millions for clinical trials alone).

You are absolutely right. And as I wrote in the post, it is not a conspiracy, that we sometimes use toxic materials to produce drugs that could save our lives. So once again I don't know what did I say wrong
