Masterclass: Richard Balon discusses rising U.S. drug prices

When a patient told Richard Balon, MD, that he could no longer afford to spend $300 a month on a tricyclic, Dr. Balon could not believe that the price was so high. “This is clearly unsustainable,” said Dr. Balon, professor of psychiatry and anesthesiology, and associate chair of education at Wayne State University in Detroit. In this Masterclass episode of the Psychcast from the 2018 AACP Encore meeting in Las Vegas, he lectures on the increase in the price of generic and brand name medications in the United States.
