Cutting Dosage of Costly Drug Spurs a Debate
16 maart 2008
When a drug can cost more than $300,000 a year, the right dose becomes a matter of public debate. The drug in question, Cerezyme, is used to treat a rare inherited enzyme deficiency called Gaucher disease. Some experts say that for most patients, as little as one-fourth the standard top dose would work, saving the health care system more than $200,000 a year per Gaucher patient.
