本文揭露了Bausch & Lomb公司如何將一款在歐洲僅需約20美元的非處方眼藥水「EvoTears」,在美國包裝成名為「Miebo」的處方藥,並將價格哄擡至每月800美元。作者指出,該公司並非因為藥物成分的差異或美國FDA的嚴格規定,而是利用監管漏洞和專利保護,將原本可在歐洲自由購買的藥物,透過申請處方藥許可,藉此鎖定高價並追求巨額利潤。此舉不僅讓美國患者承擔高昂醫療費用,更損害了民眾對醫療體系的信任。文章最後提出,美國FDA應改革藥品審核機制,避免類似情況再度發生,建議要求國際上已覈

A $20 over-the-counter drug in Europe requires a prescription and $800 in the U.S.

A month’s supply of Miebo requires $800 and a prescription in the U.S. In Europe, it’s over-the-counter and $20.

If you have to put on the screen - in writing - that we don't know how a medication works... then maybe we shouldn't advertise it on the TV!

Ban pharmaceutical ads.

How the hell can we market and sell something when we don't even know how it works?!?!?!

I’m appalled. Just saw an add for eye drops containing the active ingredient perfluorohexyloctane.

My OC is 40yo, but even I can see that is a #PFAS. The octane tail doesn’t save it.
