New drugs are distributed by the company that develops them for one year. After that, generics can be created and distributed. This gives companies one year to charge as much as they can because they have a monopoly for one year.

Asker's Rating:

• What is the Return on Investment for new drugs? How much money does it take to bring a new FDA approved drug to market?
