there are a lot of older drugs that aren't used much anymore, so no new generic firms want the headache of getting approved. Marplan seems to be one of these drugs.
I was shocked when my insurer added a deductible to my drug plan to find that parnate retailed at about $150 for 120 pills. Once the deductible is met, I get it for $10/month, but clearly there's not much competition in the generic parnate market. And why would there be? it's rarely used these days.
