But which drugs are the most expensive?
GoodRx, a startup that works to assemble the prices of drugs and provide discounts so that people can shop around and find the lowest price for their prescription, compiled a list of the 10 most expensive prescription drugs in the US.
The price listed is for a 30 day supply (with the exception of drugs that are used as a cure, in which case the dose needed to cure was listed). The price is what GoodRx calls its "Fair Price": It's not exactly the list price, or what the pharmaceutical company sets - it's the maximum you should be paying at a pharmacy, wherever you are and whatever your coverage (or lack thereof).
The drugs on the list are mainly for rare conditions, or to treat and cure hepatitis C (which afflicts hundreds of thousands of Americans).
