Is the drug at risk of being discontinued? If so, then can that risk be quantified in any way?

(For comparison: Countless scores of diets are discontinued daily.)

If the person can’t afford the drug then it’s at risk of being discontinued.

That's certainly a risk for a subset of people with limited incomes.

Meanwhile: Diets have been discontinued by people of all income levels for as long as we've had diets to discontinue. Some people succeed with their diets, and some don't.
