Here is where I found reference to the cost of the drug. Two different people offer the estimate including a health care analyst. This article also states it will be available Oct. 4 according to Novartis, the company producing fingolimod.

It was just on the news, so I'm bracing for the helpful phone calls and emails from my friends who suppose I've never heard of it.
