I would certainly hope that it wasn't that expensive back before the synthetic steroids.  |
I found this, from an article.....
On August 27, 2007, Questcor announced a new strategy and business model for H.P. Acthar Gel Repository Injection. The cost of the product was increased from an average wholesale price (AWP) of $2,062.79 per vial to an estimated $23,000 per vial.
The company explained that its price increase was crucial in order to continue manufacturing and distributing this agent to patients who needed it and to fund projects that could contribute to the company’s growth.
Sheesh!!
