All valid points. Though the pharmaceutical demon thing sounds pretty accurate. Trademarked medicines treating a slim percentage of patients ARE outrageously expensive, not because they need to be, but because they can. And in America, these companies have the right to set this price. Which I agree with, even though at times is disgusting.
I believe the complexity of both molecules comes from the 3D structure that only rDNA technology can replicate, or do so efficiently. But your right, there is a lot I don't understand about the differences in production that could account the price difference. I think, like you said, the amount of patients being treated by each medication plays a large part. rHGH is probably still under patent (25yrs?). Where insulin is not. But still, the implantation, replication, harvest, purification - those major steps are all there for both and the equipment is virtually identical. Except for the lyphollization process I'd imagine a insulin producing lab could easily be a hgh mill with a few modifications. Obviously just a very basic and personal opinion
Your 'boy' ironwill gets on every generic GH thread and says the same thing. Must've gotten burned pretty bad at some point. Which I'm sorry for. But I know the reputation generic GH comes with and I don't need to hear it over and over from the same person, or any person. We get it, china man is quick to scam the stupid American. OK, but I KNOW there are good generics out there. I have some. They will never be pharma quality. Idc. It's $1.50/iu. And it works
