| bdda... | There will be no new innovated drugs |
| babe... | pharmaceutical innovation so they can take our money and then charge outrageous prices for the drugs we paid for but can't afford, even with insurance |
| lind... | These drugs are helping so many people who either dont have insurance or cant afford it, even with insurance, this is greed at its finest. SIckening |
| dan.... | Lack of competition keepsprices high. But if that many people need a prescription drug for weight loss, there is a bigger problem. |
| dajo... | Its not safe either. These are sterile injectable drugs that should be regulated by FDA. Compounding pharmacies are not regulated. |
| amy.... | Compounding pharmaceuticals are unsafe! There is no monitoring of raw ingredients- think china and fentanyl, and these are patent protected products. If you want the product lily makes it affordable. They have a patent so why should others benefit from the million that lily spent on R&D?! |
| ange... | There is a happy medium in this. The medications should not be out of reach for those without insurance. For most even 500$ per month is a stretch in any 3 month term use of a medication. We need to consider both innovation being rewarded and affordability of the medication for the population it is intended for. |
| rsta... | Yes. This would help people who are unable to get a prescription from their doctor, or don't have health insurance coverage as there are many benefits besides weight loss. |
| mich... | The greedy pharma is overcharging Americans by horrendous amounts. It is time they were brought to heel. Laws are required to prevent this boundless price gouging of citizens. |
| 9812... | I thought there was a 17 life on new trademark medicine |
| amya... | If they are going to ban compounds then they need to significantly lower the price of the drug they produce. What happened to no monopolies? Monopolies by one company cause pricing to be sky high. |
| tric... | Pharmacy companies could easily make it affordable |
| jodu... | Big Pharma needs a little humility and humanity. |
| migu... | Its intellectual property. It should be protected for a designated amount of time. Its not fair that a company spends millions on R&D and when they actually develop a drug that works (because most don't make it past clinical trials) that another company can come and compound it and make it. This kind of ruling would discourage pharmaceauticals from investigating new costly treatments. |
| apph... | Yes. Of all drugs. Aren’t pharmaceutical companies wealthy enough? We need affordable healthcare and drug options. |
| susa... | And patients will become healthier but achieving a healthy weight. |
| rgar... | Another example of big pharma ripping off US citizens |
| arth... | One of the major reasons for health costs in the U.S. skyrocketing is the extreme profits being made by pharmaceutical companies. Their profits far exceed their development cost of drugs. |
| cmes... | because everyone on the FDA is former drug company employees and will leave the FDA and go back to those companies in the future. Its a rigged game with tons of nepotism and abuse of the system for personal gain. Eli Lilly is faced a deck stacked in their favor with ZERO resistance from anyone so Lilly wins no matter what and the billions flow to them again. No challenger. |
| pjsm... | Diabetes is a huge danger in the US and coming soon to other countries that import US fast foods. The US must STOP subsidizing corn which leads to a cheap health damaging product that can be made to imitate food. |
| aeva... | Medicines are too expensive. |
| erwi... | This is a sign of legal monopoly when a government grants exclusive rights to a company and corporate giant control prices. It is legal. Unfortunately, patients always beed affordable options, which in this case is not currently possible unless there are other non-related formulas. |
