摘要
Hospital purchase prices substantially exceed compounding production costs in Belgium for selected orphan drugs that had low costs of research and development and market access procedures. As a result, healthcare payers seem to be paying too much for these orphan drugs and there are arguments for price reductions. Pharmacies can consider compounding, rather than purchasing, these orphan drugs. © 2011 Adis Data Information BV. All rights reserved.
