“Two of the world’s largest drug companies are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to doctors every year in return for giving their patients anemia medicines, which regulators now say may be unsafe at commonly used doses.”
Or maybe they are. I can’t remember.
Say that again?
I buy Aranesp at the local pharmacy and give the shots to myself. My pharmacist told me that the retail price of my dose, taken once every five weeks, is $1540. The CBC blood tests to monitor the effect is $47 per month.
You don’t get a Rx because you need it anymore, you get it because the doctor can make money from the drug companies.
Most people today are taking way more medications then they need, or are taking drugs they never needed to begin with.
Question your doctor, do research on the medications you take or that the doctor is trying to ram down your throat. Your life may depend on it.
Interesting article. Thanks for the post and the ping, neverdem.
Medicare paid for my mother’s shots as long as her blood work showed she “needed” the erythropoetin.
