Which drugs are being bought for the price of generic?
The price of a generic drug can vary from $60 to $800, depending on the manufacturer, and it is often the price the drug is advertised at.
If the drug doesn’t sell for as much, the manufacturer might charge a premium.
For example, generic Viagra sells for $50 a pill, whereas a cheaper version can be $150 a pill.
But there’s also a big difference between a generic and a generic-brand drug.
For generic drugs, the FDA does not regulate the drugs.
Instead, it relies on manufacturers to make sure they are safe and effective, and if the drug isn’t safe and ineffective, the company can make a change to the drug.
That can include adding another ingredient, making it more expensive, or making it less effective.
If those changes aren’t approved by the FDA, they are not covered by Medicare.
The generic drug industry is currently grappling with some of the same challenges.
In May, the drug company AstraZeneca announced a $1.4 billion settlement with the FDA over allegations that it withheld information about its drug-price negotiations with drugmakers, including the price for its generic version.
The FDA has also been grappling with a new problem with generics.
Generic drugs often contain more than one active ingredient, which could lead to higher prices.
So generic makers are increasingly looking to competitors to fill that gap.
But they have to contend with the drug companies’ marketing strategy, which focuses on selling drugs that are more expensive than generic versions.
And for some drugs, generic drug makers have tried to avoid the competition by creating “bundles,” which contain generic versions of the drug and a cheaper generic version of the medication.
Those companies have also been caught negotiating prices with drug makers for the same drug.
The pharmaceutical industry is not the only industry in the process of changing its approach to generic drugs.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is also making some changes.
Last month, the agency issued new guidance for manufacturers who are developing and marketing generic drugs as part of a new clinical trial.
The new guidance says that if a generic company is looking to promote its product as a generic, it should use its marketing tactics to convince patients that it is a better drug than the generic version and that the generic will cost the same.
That way, patients won’t buy the generic drug if it doesn’t match up to the price tag of the original.
