BIG DEAL?

FDA Approves New Drug for Chronic Anal Fissure Pain

.... Compounding pharmacists have been successfully making this preparation for decades - with great results. In fact, a preparation of 0.2% is effective and probably presents fewer side effects. I wonder why a Japanese drug maker wants to sell this stronger version in the U.S.

.... One thing I know for sure is that this *NEW* product will sell for significantly more than what you'd pay your compounding pharmacy.

.... But, who cares about cost? The insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid will pay for it. They don't care what it costs, so why should the patient?
