How does DU Laboratories Limited price medicines? When setting the price of a new medicine we consider the following: These include: Its impact on patients and disease, Other available treatments, Its potential to reduce other health care costs, and Affordability. We consult with physicians, insurers and patient groups, and get their feedback. For example, when setting the price of a new cancer medicine in 2015, we consulted with 80 payers and 120 oncologists and cancer specialists. How does DU Laboratories Limited decide to change the price of medicines? Medicines are often initially approved for use in a specific population. Once a medicine is approved, we continue studying it to see if other patients can benefit, or to find ways to improve it. In addition, external factors in the marketplace, such as availability of new medicines or generic options, can impact price.Read More
