I take generics to keep the cost down but...prices are going wild. Senate investigation.
The average price of albuterol sulfate, a common asthma treatment, shot from $11 per bottle last October to $434 per bottle in April 2014, an increase of over 4,000 percent, according to data from the Healthcare Supply Chain Association cited by Sanders' committee.
The price for the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate, used to treat various infections, rose more than 8,280 percent during the same time frame from $20 per 100-pill bottle to $1,849.
John Field of Mt Vernon, Missouri, says he used to be able to buy a month's supply of doxycycline for $4 to treat his Lyme disease, which forced him to stop working as a pipe fitter. The medication now costs $167 per month, a 4,000 percent increase.
