Bumetanide is cheap - about $20/30days.

IF this study is correct somebody needs to buy the patent on this and jack the price up 2000%. Like they did with that inhaler thingie. Actually several people should have went to jail over that in a perfect world.

Shades of Martin Shkreli. Great idea! I'm going to pitch this to my venture group this week.

not to worry.

It is probably made in China, and nothing Made in China is going to be accessable for a bit.

“Like they did with that inhaler thingie.”

I use Rx Combivent Respimat 20-100 MCG, which retails for close to $500 at all drugstores. After Geisinger Gold & Medicare are done, I pay $81 co-pay. What a scam.

it’s available as a generic, so probably no money to be made on this one because more than one co is manufacturing it.

I hear you on the inhalers. Buy Canada - three months w/shipping for less than one month stateside (current law allows up to 3mo supply to be imported - might be six now?). And I don’t feel guilty in the slightest as I drive right past those highway robbers Walgreens and RiteAid and the rest on the way to the post office to pick up my little Canadian Post package.
