Why do companies make expensive meds?

Only rich get illness or what ?
I am talking about world
Eg, poor countries cant get this expensive meds
We have meds in our countries cost 1000 egp :open_mouth::open_mouth: per one injection

The National Health Service in the UK is moderated for what meds to use by a body called NICE to ensure it’s value for money.

Most meds for Schizophrenics are generic here, but I did get Latuda when it was still branded as such.

The problem is it costs a lot of money to research drugs, and they have to make some money.

Generics are much cheaper.

I wish everywhere had a system like the UK

I only pay £30 every three months for my AP’s, Benzos, AD’s and statins.

It’s disgusting @saynow. People are dying because they can’t afford their meds like chemotherapy etc. The makers are so selfish. Me me me! I really wish we could do something about it

Unfortunately companies don’t make meds to help people, they are trying to make money.
