Understanding Recent Trends in Generic Drug Prices
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation [ASPE], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] Jan. 28, 2016 "[G]eneric drug prices are not an important part of the drug cost problem facing the nation.... [A]bout two-thirds of generic products appear to have experienced price declines in 2014.... [S]ome segments of the market have experienced large price increases.... Some explanations for these occurrences include: small markets with limited entry; the impact of mergers, acquisitions, and market exits; the ability to obtain new market exclusivities; and distribution activities. These problems apply to relatively small segments of the market and, while they lead to increased costs in certain therapeutic areas, they have little influence on overall spending increases." |
