Times Article about Extortionate Prices of Drugs

[lynmynott]

The Times magazine has an article today but I can't see the whole article. I think it's about Amdipharm but may not be. Can anyone access The Times and send me the article please? [e-mail]

Thanks! These people are involved in Amdipharm which is relevant to what's going on re T3....

Lyn,

I purchased the newspaper, it goes across four pages. I think you can get a short term online subscription for £1 if noone can send you a copy.

I have just written a letter to the editor. I will send you a copy by e-mail but it is not for public viewing as I don't want to compromise my chance of having it published.

Jim.

Received your letter. Have just sent an email to the journalist asking him to look into this further. Fingers crossed!

[jimh111 in reply to jimh111]

Just to correct my comment, it is £1 per week for a minimum of 12 weeks and then £6 a week.

There's a petition on 38 Degrees.

I've also put this on the other two threads on the subject.

Do we now expect the price of levothyroxine to rocket?

[RedApple Administrator in reply to helvella]

Have a feeling they might not get away with that one quite so easily!

Words fail me... Thank you girlafraid for posting the whole article and associated articles. One can only hope that these leeches lose their fortunes, then catch something that they'll need their own overpriced drugs to maintain a relatively decent quality of life and get turned down... Karma...

It seems that The Times have published an article today which specifically addresses the price increase of liothyronine. I'll try to get hold of a copy later and upload photos again.

We've just put it onto HU. The Times interviewed me yesterday.

OH, thanks Lyn! I didn't spot that!
