When the cost of a popular drug that treats life-threatening parasitic
infections increased 5,000 percent, it caused concern for many.

Daraprim fights toxoplasmosis, which infects people whose immune systems have
been weakened by AIDS, chemotherapy and pregnancy, according to the Center of
Disease Control. It's also used to treat malaria.

Turing Pharmaceuticals of New York bought the drug from Impax Laboratories in
August for $55 million and raised the price from $13.50 a tablet to $750.

laxoSmithKline sold the drug for about $1 a tablet after being approved by
the Food and Drug Administration in 1953. CorePharma bought it in 2010 and
Impax Laboratories bought Core and all affiliated companies for $700 million
last year.

For some patients, this hike in price brings the annual cost of treatment to
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even those with insurance could be paying
$150 a tablet.

The company will be putting the money it makes into developing better
treatments for toxoplasmosis, with fewer side effects. They also plan on
investing in marketing and education tools to make people more aware of the
disease.

Daraprim isn't the only drug to increase their price in recent months. The
average cost of brand-name medications rose 13 percent in 2013, according to
a report from the Prime Institute at the University of Minnesota. New cancer
drugs now cost over $100,000 a year.

"This isn't the greedy drug company trying to gouge patients, it is us trying
to stay in business," Martin Shkreli, the founder and CEO of Turing, told the
New York Times.

大略翻

Daraprim 是一種給愛滋病患者用於治療弓蟲症的藥 該藥的藥價從原本的13.5美金一片
調漲到750美金一片

該公司表示漲價是為了研發副作用更低的新藥以及用於宣導人們對於疾病的危機意識
