  1. "In the years since Deacon’s efforts helped to pressure the #Government into legalising #medical #cannabis in the #UK, only a handful of others have been able to enjoy the same access as Alfie. According to the #NHS Business Service Authority, a total of 89,239 #prescriptions for unlicensed cannabis #medicines were issued between November 2018 & July 2022, but fewer than 5 of these prescriptions were issued by the NHS. The rest have had to go #private."

  2. RE: apobangpo.space/@bich/11649992

    I was on an expensive drug for a couple of years. The Medicare Part D cap on out of pocket costs was the only reason we could afford it. The cap was phased in, $3,300 per year in 2024 and $2,000 per year in 2025.

  3. Companies that agree to build new US plants will face 20% tariffs during construction, which must be completed before #Trump leaves office [impossible]. The admin expects “the lion’s share” of patented drugs consumed by Americans to be produced in the #US.

    I’m all for lower drug prices, but this will hurt #patients most.

    #Trump sets 100% #drug #tariffs on companies that haven’t lowered prices

    Makers of patented #pharmaceuticals can escape the import tax by agreeing to join Trump’s “most favored nation” program to reduce US drug prices or by establishing new factories to serve the #US market….

  7. #RxInspector: ProPublica’s New Tool Provides #Drug Info the #FDA Won’t
    Even though #genericdrugs make up 90% of #prescriptions dispensed in the #US, the FDA only provides piecemeal information about them. It’s scattered across different websites with no easy way to link #drugs to their manufacturers, factory locations and regulatory track records. Over many months, journalists connected that data.

  8. Because the U.S Government is currently unwilling to tell you if the medications you're being sold are safe, ProPublica has launched an app to do the job.

  9. A new tool for the public to play around with - excited to try it out myself later today.

    “To bring more sunlight to the world of drug manufacturing, ProPublica connected the disparate databases and websites where the FDA scatters this information. We also obtained documents stemming from thousands of FDA inspections of generic drug factories since 2008. At one point, we sued the FDA in federal court for factory locations and received a partial list.

    Our database will show you the facility that manufactured your prescription generic drugs and any inspection reports we have from the FDA.”
