Proven generic drugs are in short supply, forcing hospitals to use newer, more expensive drugs.

Which would benefit the makers of those newer, more expensive drugs. Hmmm.

Lower priced drugs have lower margins, hence lower incentive to invest / modernize production to meet the increasing FDA regulations. Many drug co’s are making decisions to discontinue manufacturing based on the profitability. some avoid / defer investments until reality sets in.

can you show cases where a more expensive drug is benefiting from the short supply of a generic?
