The most expensive drug in history is 14.48 million, which is specially used to treat spinal muscular atrophy in children
Recently, with the approval of FDA, gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy in children has been listed in the United States. A drug is priced at US $2.1 million (about 14.48 million yuan), which can be called the most expensive drug in history.
Netizens have questioned: This is threatening parents with their children's lives and asking for ransom.
However, pharmaceutical companies say that only one drug is needed to treat the disease, and it can be paid in installments within the coverage of medical insurance.
The parents of children who recovered after the treatment said: life can not be measured by money.
