Article form last week's NY Times says the wholesale cost of generic copaxone is $63,000 per year, that's 18% less than the brand version. Do an internet search for Teva Ruling Clears Way for Generic Version of Multiple Sclerosis Drug. Doesn't sound like the battle is over yet.... Can anyone explain why the cost of the drug increases each and every year? I remember when the cost of 20mg copaxone was about $15,000 per year - it's now over $76,000 ten years later.
