I actually may have to speak for at least the big pharmacuetical industries, a lot of things they do is bullshit. Ambien CR(wtf) I am looking at the data as we speak and its impossible to tell Ambien from Ambien CR so its just big buisness trying to milk out a few more bucks. The same with Nexium and Prilosec, Celexa and Lexapro both sets of drugs have the same active ingredient but the only difference is that one is a racemate.
To stand up for them, its really expensive to make new drugs and for every drug that comes out about 19 or so fail. So they have to charge extra for the drugs to cover their costs on everything else. And since there is not a perfect drug, because to block a receptor means that something is not going to work and your body is going to compensate i.e Cox-2 blockers. So you have drugs have work really well and because of it are going to increase your cardiovasular risks.
To bash them again, for 1kg of quinapril(powder) in the us it costs 1M and to buy the same drug from spain is around 1,000. That just seems a little crazy
