Default Price of Tysabri increases by 19%!!

WOW. The price of Tysabri has increased by 19%. That's unbelievable. I have a few suppositions. It went up because 1) fewer people are signing up given the PML risk and once that antibody assay comes on the market the roughly 50% of people who test positive won't be candidates for the drug 2) Gilenia (fingolimod) will be arriving in Sept. most likely and as a pill with no PML risk it may prove to be more appealing than Tysabri.

I would like to say I am shocked, but I guess I'm not. I find this just totally disgusting. Money, money, money. You can't tell me the cost to produce this drug went up that much?
