The generic is half the price.
It is priced at what the market can bear.
Hahahahahaha if you think drug prices have anything to do with basic market forces you are beyond naive. Very few people pay out of pocket for their drugs... Medicare reimbursement drives the cost of EVERYTHING... yes even private insurance.
Health care is driven by regulatory forces not economic forces
can't imagine how much money the pharms have made on this drug alone, and its pushed like its a panacea....
this woman I suspect was very sick to begin with and in her weakened state, caught the flu as well....
somebody missed something though...
There’s a good chance that the doctor prescribed Tamiflu, rather then the less costly generic, because he gets kickbacks from the drug maker.
