Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA. As we have revealed in past issues of Life Extension, a significant percentage of drugs sold in the United State contain active ingredients made in other countries. In our independent investigation of how much profit drug companies really make, we obtained the actual price of active ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in America.

The chart below speaks for itself.

The profits are truely mindboggeling! I undrstand they only give the cost of the active ingredient & don't include the cost of the fillers & overhead, but DAMN!

I am listening to Dr. Dean Edell on the radio & some caller asked because when he asked his pharmicist he said he couldn't tell him. Dr. Edell said it's probably available on the internet, so I decided to check.
