<title>Drug Markups And The Role Of Supplements Posted By: Pat Boardman</title>
<description>The gigantic drug industry captitalizes on the consumer's search for security from symptoms. The profit margin is partially due to low-cost ingredients being marked up on a scale that any other industry would envy. Sharon Davis and Mary Palmer, budget analysts for the United States Department of Commerce did an independent study on the costs of the active ingredients in commercial drugs in America relative to the consumer price. They published articles on their findings in several issues of Life Extension magazine. The chemical synthesizers that supply active ingredients in drugs approved by the FDA are generally obtained in other countries. The markup is most often in the thousands and tens of thousands of percentage points, however some reach even more profitable levels.
 
A one milligram dose of Xanax is particularly obese in the profit bubble profile: 100 tablets cost $136.79 when purchased by the public; the cost of the ingredients for those tablets is $.024, making the markup 569,958 percent. A half a million percent markup can swing a corporation's balance sheet into the ionosphere in no time, and would prove to be an intoxicating and habit-forming source of money and power to the recipients.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/leg+cramps" rel="tag">leg cramps</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/rls" rel="tag">rls</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/legs" rel="tag">legs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/insomnia" rel="tag">insomnia</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/sleep" rel="tag">sleep</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/treatment" rel="tag">treatment</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/restless+leg+syndrome" rel="tag">restless leg syndrome</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/restless+legs" rel="tag">restless legs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/remedy" rel="tag">remedy</a>]]></description>
