Info On What It Costs To Make Insulin API's Offshore (Courtesy of China's Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals Ltd.)
When pharma companies refer to API ' s, they are referring to " Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients " (which is different from what an internet company means when they say API; to internet companies, the acronym API means " Application Programming Interface " ).

Its unclear to me exactly how they manage issues including transporting the products across the world for some items which must be temperature-controlled, but if it fattens pharma ' s bottom...

BusinessWeek Says " Why Cheaper Insulin Today Risks Higher Costs Later " . We should want that!
On April 4, 2023,Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine published an article entitled " Why Cheaper Insulin Today Risks Higher Costs Later " (seehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-04/cheaper-insulin-from-lilly-and-sanofi-risks-raising-costs-later for the article).
