Charge, charge, charge. We pay the highest prices for drugs in the entire world and big pharm’s greed knows no bounds. Politicians are paid off and there’s NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

You pay high price because of PBM and healthcare providers, who profit 55% of the price of the drugs. You pay high price because generic druug prices are too low, essentially eliminating competition and ending with monopoly. And that the best scenario, when the price reach bottom low no generic available. You want to pay less? Start with eliminating PBM, pay higher prices for generics and extend patent exclusively term, encouraging development of new drugs. Essentially encouraging innovation competition and not price competition.
Pharmaceuticals is a capitalist business issue not an American institution issue. The government doesn’t manage these companies their CEOs do. Stop crapping on American institutions please.
I’m a hospital pharmacist and we’ve recently run out of premade potassium IV bags. We’ve been having to make them from their separate ingredients for now and it’s really backing us up, I’m going nuts!
"US officials warn that they failed the public despite their salaries and positions of authority, to ensure the security of pharmaceutical production, and the supply chain, in the US."
Regrettably, in a savage capitalist economy like the US, the government has limited power to shape or influence private companies’ production and distribution. If, on top of that, you add the lobbying of pharmaceutical and healthcare companies in general, you have these companies making a sick person out of every American and the politicians making it easier for them
I got a different generic brand of ADHD drug today. I'm irritated just because certain generics are allowed to deviate a certain amount of the active ingredient. And every generic ends up having different side effects and onset times. It's manageable if I get the same generic for months, but I don't like it when it changes from month to month.
Since 2020, I’ve had to deal with a different generic manufacturer basically every single month and have experienced a range of *doesn’t work at all* to *bizarre OCD side effects* to *works 50-80% as well as advertised* It’s so frustrating and insane that it is allowed!
Depending on China for drug supply and then suddenly imposing sanctions on them is a very bad idea. But Trump began this trend in 2017-18 and Biden continued with more and more sanctions. Keeping Taiwan under American dominance is obviously more important to ordinary Americans than the medications they need.
If you are on a drug dangerous to stop suddenly, see if you can get more pills of lower dosage so you can taper down if they run out of your medication. This does not address the condition you need the medication for in the first place, but it can help lower the effects of suddenly stopping a medication that can cause its own issues.
So, capitalism is failing? Perhaps we could take low-cost generics and produce them as a government service since, you know, we all get sick at some point.
I honestly think this would also be the best way to ensure consistent quality of generics. I’ve experienced so much variability with generic adderall since 2020 to the point that I have anxiety about filling my prescription, and that’s assuming the pharmacy even has it in stock! 😭

US drug companies get free reign to charge whatever the heck they want so they have no excuse for not being able to meet demand of their product. Absolutely no explanation or excuse is good enough. You charge astronomical amount of money for your product well above what you charge for the same product in other countries so guess what figure it out, our pharmacies better be stocked. Otherwise maybe we have to start look at what you’re charging for the product versus what you’re spending to produce it it would be the shame of the government got involved and we wound up with #medicareforall they’ve been doing it with insulin and if they don’t knock off the games that eventually the government will go after all the rest of the drugs as well as they should! Health services and medication should be considered a national public service no different than any other utility.
I'm sorry, this story is not FASCINATING!! to those who have cancer, who have chronic debilitating pain, to those newly diagnosed with ADHD due to Covid. To the Diabetic who can't get their medications because doctor's are using it for weight loss!! Which, by the way, no one knows what the lifetime side effects will be for those using ozempic who DON'T have diabetes. 😢
Greed and monopoly. As if pharmaceutical companies need a reason to continue increasing medicine prices. Our medical and pharmaceutical systems are insane. There are doctors who begin with good intentions, eventually falling victim to greed and 'going with the flow'. Humans, we have our priorities skewed. How is it possible that the same medicine, same formula, is cheaper in other countries? Pharmaceutical companies create a shortage on purpose.
Now the supply of pyridostigmine aka mestinon is messed up. This is not a vanity drug,it is vital for breathing, swallowing, walking for those with myasthenia gravis. Stress of uncertainty with switching from long acting to short and back will cause very expensive medical intervention and loss of productivity.
A lot of times it’s due to their ‘just in time’ ordering meaning they don’t keep realistic quantity of stock on hand as if infection can wait a few days for delivery!
im guessing people cant aford etc, so insurance is changing, and the drug producers arent making the money so not producing the drugs. was never about "your treatment", it was about money. people cant pay LOL

im glad im not on medication anymore, but i still have health problems, even tho all the tests show there is something wrong by numbers and images, the doctors say there isnt anything wrong, and say "if there is an emergency go to the emergency room" so theyre betting on it gets so bad until its life-threatening.
As far as the injectables are concerned, I would be the shortage is because of the Wegovy and Ozempic gold rush. It is almost pure profit to make and sell those drugs right now with unlimited demand.
Increased need for ADHD medication you say, wonder if that would have anything to do with widespread neurological changes possibly caused by Covid, or Brain fog symptom caused by long Covid. 🤔
True, and everything I’ve read from the DEA concerning the adhd drugs shortages has said that the manufacturers are all well under their quota. Really frustrating 😭
