A comment on Non-profit’s $300 hepatitis C cure as effective as $84k alternative. Parent comment
The drug was originally priced for cancer and required a high dose. Better drugs came out, so they repurposed it for MS, but at a much lower dose.
As such, they repriced it and give it away for free for cancer.
Not sure why your bill was $450,000. Most MS drugs run around $60-90K per year.
