> I discovered this because my sister in law has a rare disease and she depends on a rare drug called syprine. Her drug costs went from 177.00 a month to $8000.00 a month where it hovered there for a year, then it went up to $43,354.73 a month. This is nuts! $43000+ per month is insane! 1. I did a quick check and in India Syprine is available for Rs. 1.5 lakh / pack (which is roughly 2100$ at current exchange rate (Rs. 69 = 1 USD)): https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/trientine-capsule-syprine-india-17199217455.html https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/trientine-capsule-sypri... 2. Another brand (non-Valeant; same chemical composition as Syprine) is available at even cheaper rates of Rs. 20000 / bottle (which is roughly 300$ at current exchange rate): https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/trientine-capsule-250mg-cuchel-20519895597.html https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/trientine-capsule-250mg... Is it possible to import the drug from India instead? Or is this market highly regulated?
