Thanks for that insight Fred
I would like to think that the price of Fumaderm would stay the same the more that it is prescribed the more Biogen will,produce and this in turn reduces the manufacturing cost which will never be passed on to the health services. We all have heard of the price of the raw material from Bill the stuff is dirt cheap. They are making it into pills of 120 mg and charging around £2 a pill..... Very reasonable I agree. There is a huge profit in there and if they can widen the distribution around the world even at the low price. You are talking massive profits enough to satisfy investors and research and development
Bearing in mind that there patent runs out in a few years,and I am sure there are pharma companies out in the Far East that are geared up to get in on this lucrative market.
Just my opinion
