Case Study: My Final Recommendation To Epipen

Improved Essays
My final recommendation to EpiPen is to hire a great team of lawyers and new accountants. They should employee forensic, government and cost accountants, as wells as an auditor to go through the financials. These types of accounts will dig through the financial reports and find where the company is liable. The cost accountant will develop viable reasons for the price increase by conducting a profitability analysis. They will examine all of the direct and indirect cost related to the company. The forensic and government accountants will point out what areas the United States Senate Committee on Judiciary will particularly question them on. The auditor will comb throught the fincials and organize everything because the government will be

    Prilosec (omeprazole), a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach in conditions caused by excess stomach acid. Prilosec suppresses gastric acid secretion by target inhibition of the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. This enzyme system is considered as the acid (proton) pump within the gastric mucosa, Prilosec has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, because it blocks the final step of acid production.

    I believe that the government should regulate the sales of epipens because the “Mylan” company has a monopoly on them and is unfairly controlling the price. The price of epipens has been raised over 400% in the past few years because Mylan’s one competitor had a recall due to possible errors in drug dosage. The drug used in epipens, epinephrine, is inexpensive and each epipen carries only a dollars worth. The injector itself is bought by Mylan from a manufacturer for only $34.50 per pen!…

    The peer-reviewed article, EpiPen price hikes comes under scrutiny, by Rita Rubin reports the out lash towards the drug company Mylan and CEO of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Heather Bresch, during recent years due to the increased price of EpiPen. “ … since the drug company Mylan acquired EpiPen in 2007, its price has soared more than 400%, to just over US$600.” For many Americans, the fear of losing a loved one simply because they can no longer afford the medication is very real, as according to the Wall Street journal, “some 3.6 billion Americans were prescribed an EpiPen [in 2015].” Pharmaceutical profiteering has always been a concern and continues to increase as “Mylan has a virtual monopoly over the epinephrine auto-injector market”, said Maryland Democrat Elijah Cummings and Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.…

Daraprim ,treats a parasitic infection that is dangerous and potentially deadly for pregnant women, the elderly, and people with HIV. Martin says that he increased the price of Daraprim because he wanted to have a lot of money. Martin cannot be arrested or have any consequences because the overnight increase of a potentially life-saving drug by 5556%, appears to be perfectly legal Laws prohibiting price gouging tend only to apply to “periods of emergency,” such as natural disasters.

    Please find a better health course to use for summer school. The one that is currently set up has many errors, and most of the time I find myself having to look up more information on the internet because the quizzes do not match the lessons. Some questions will have 2 or more correct answers, and of course Murphy's Law stays true every time. On one lesson, using over-the-counter medication was not mentioned at all for treating viral diseases, and using prescription antiviral medication was listed, so of course when the lesson quiz asked what the best treatment was I selected prescription medicine. The answer was over-the-counter medication.…
