Generics may be a low-margin business for manufacturers, but they are emphatically not so for retailers. The likes of CVS make a lot of profit from generics, which makes it surprising that this hasn’t spurred pressure from on the manufacturers to amp up supply.

It's a constrained market - people aren't going to buy more cisplatin or cephalosporin just because it's cheaper. (Yes, people do shop around for a butt enlargement or Lasik but these things are strictly optional and can wait until the next month, however when you need a prescription drug you really need it.)
