Price May Stop Merk?s New Diabetes Drug From Helping Victims

On October 17, 2006, Merk released its new drug to fight type 2 diabetes. The FDA approval of the new drug will potentially help over 20 million people who suffer from type 2 diabetes.

The new oral medication Januvia controls blood sugar levels just as well as the other diabetes medication on the market but with fewer side effects. The new drug increases the level of a hormone that makes the pancreas produce higher levels of insulin in order to process more blood sugar, while at the same telling the liver to stop the production of glucose. Januvia does this by blocking the production of the enzyme DPP-4.

Although the drug is just as affective as other diabetes drugs on the market just with drastically reduced side affects, the downside is that Merk is going to charge from 6 to 12 times more than other similar drugs already on the market. This will increase the daily price for diabetes medication for a user from $.50 a day to $6.00.A drug that has the potential to positively affect the lives of the estimated 230 million people worldwide that suffer from this disease may never get to reach many of those consumers to the drastically high prices.

This is a great example of how big pharmaceutical companies can charge whatever they want for their new innovative drugs. America does not have price controls in order to promote the production of new innovative drugs, but what good does the new innovative drug do us if no one can afford it.
