Cost of drugs

My son when a lot younger was on some pills that we were told were £69 per pill. In the late 90's

I think the chemo DH was on for two years was running at about £15,000 a year. If you survived for two years the drug company then provided it free. The weekly injection he's having now is £3,000 at time.

£3 a tablet is actually pretty cheap compared to some. I do think all medicines should have the price printed on both the prescription and the box. People have no idea how much things cost and it might stop people wasting their medication and ensure better compliance with treatment.

I think most of the price is down to cost of development.

£21 a week is hardly extravagant compared to the massive waste in the NHS let alone the cost of treating him in hospital. You need feel no guilt and yes, the development costs for new drugs can be astronomical.
I have had comments passed in Boots about some of Paws "expensive " drugs. I just shrug and say would you rather have him admitted as an in-patient?
