There is no reason for this - this is price gouging pure and simple.
A weekly shot to keep women from going into premature labor used to cost $10-20. Now a pharmaceutical company got a patent on it - and the price is going to now be $1,500! That's about $30K!
JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN!
And those compounding pharmacies who used to make the $10-20 doses AND HELPED THE COMPANY DEVELOP THE DRUG got served with a "cease and desist".

It wasn't the herbal shaman, it was the typical treatment prescribed by doctors.
It's funny until you realize this one act just upped health care costs by $30 billion a year.

This isn't a Frankenstein drug that lets pregnancies that typically wouldn't occur happen - these women would typically still have a viable pregnancy.
They would just have more issues and deliver a preemie .............with all of the $$ potential health issues that go with it.
