The nootropics community often have kilograms of very complex novel compounds synthesized in one off batches for far far less than the list price of this drug. Perhaps this could be synthesized on demand.
- barkbro 10y agoKeep in mind that the requirements for an IV drug are much higher than those of nootropic enthusiasts. All compontents have to be within a narrow concentration range (consistently, across batches) and very low levels of byproducts are allowed. I'm not saying it's as expensive as Valeant claims, but it might be more expensive than you think.
