Teva Pharmaceuticals is working on a generic equivalent, but it's not approved yet.

Pure greed!
I'm back to add to my statement. The company should be allowed to make money and accumulate money for further drug development but this amount is just wrong. I hope the generic drug gets approval quickly!
Teva makes the medication I'm on and the full retail value of a months supply of my meds is in the neighborhood of $6500. That's every month. There is a generic equivalent of this drug, made by a different company of course, that is still around $5000 a month. Sure, $1000 is $1000 but that doesn't seem like that much of a reduction from the name brand price.
