| | Bextra and Vioxx Withdrawal Spurs Price Increase Among RivalsWritten by Charles Essmeier
Continued from page 1
publication shows that prices of some three dozen anti-inflammatory medications have gone up since Vioxx was withdrawn from market in September 2004. The increases average about ten percent. Why have prices of these older, established medications all gone up at once?
The answer, simply, is that pharmaceutical companies have raised prices because they can. The market for drugs is wildly competitive, and manufacturers are constantly seeking any advantage they can find in marketplace. The sudden withdrawal of two of most popular and profitable medications has provided a rare opportunity for manufacturers to increase both sales and prices at same time, as drug makers know that patients must switch to another medication. It’s good for their stockholders, but bad for those who suffer from pain.
Will high prices last? Probably not. Pricing of highly competitive medications tends to be volatile. The prices may stay up in short term, but other medications may be introduced soon, or Bextra or Vioxx may be returned to market. The introduction of other drugs will restore more competition to market, and prices may drop once again. The market for painkilling drugs is a bit of a crazy one, and patients should simply exhibit some, well, patience.
