[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not going away. [b]Trump's new head of FDA and lawsuit will keep compounding in business for the foreseeable future [/b]. I would assume insurance and drug manufacturers will figure out how to make the named drugs more accessible and cheaper with the pressure. If not the compounders will keep stealing their business.

Please tell me you are joking. Of course he won’t. [/quote]

Not joking. Do you know who the nominee is? [/quote]

Anti COVID vaxx JHU dude. [/quote]

He is a transplant surgeon and exec at Sesame. [b]All in on compounds.[/b] Now with Elon on injections-- here to stay. [/quote]

You can't be "all in on compounds." There is such a thing as patent law in the US. Full stop.

Do you have any idea how much power Pharma has in the US, anyway?[/quote]

+1. Elon Musk— or even a Trump EO— cannot override the Us statutes passed by Congress protecting these patents. Besides, should we let the free market economy set the price for GLP-1s?  Allowing compounders to come II and violate patents stifles innovation, is socialist, and is an example of the government choosing winners and losers among private companies. Killing Lily’s incentive to innovate and giving a government boost to Noom. That’s not the GOP way.

Also interesting that you aren’t nearly as upset about patents on things like expensive cancer drugs that price people out of life saving care. [/quote]

Don't you want the patients to be the winners here, no matter what meds we are talking about? Lower cost and reliable access are a good thing, and that's what compounds have done for consumers. But Lilly is striking deals now for cheaper prices (like with Ro) because they know the cost of their meds is so high that compound folks are simply not going to switch over if the compounds are gone: they will just go without meds instead. That is a loss for everyone.[/quote]
