Today, the US Food and Drug Administration agreed to the most expensive drug in the world, a new treatment for a rare blood clotting disease, at a high price, as the drug will cost $ 3. 5 million per dose, which makes it the most expensive drug in the world.
The medicine called Hemgenix is a genetic treatment for hemophilia B, a rare genetic disease that reduces blood clotting, and the most dangerous symptoms include spontaneous and frequent bleeding attacks that are difficult to stop, according to the “Science Alert” website.
Himophilia B is more common in men than women, and while it is difficult to get a precise number, it is estimated that approximately 8,000 men in the United States are currently suffering from this disease for life.
The main drug currently used to treat hemophilia B in the United States is given patients with clotting, but lifelong treatment costs are high.
In people with severe symptoms there is a need for a routine and expensive treatment system, a system can start over time to decline in its effectiveness.
Researchers estimate the cost of adults for every patient with moderate to severe to the severe to $ 21 to 23 million US dollars.
The costs of treatment in the UK are cheaper than it is in the United States or anywhere else in Europe, but it still reaches tens of millions of dollars per patient throughout his life..
