Prescription Drug Price Discrimination in the 7th Congressional District in Maryland: Drug Manufacturer Prices are Higher for Humans than for Animals

House Committee on Government Reform

Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform investigated prescription drug pricing in the 7th Congressional District in Maryland. The findings reveal substantial price discrimination for the same drug used by humans and animals, with lower prices for animal use and higher prices for human use. The report suggests eliminating this discrimination could significantly reduce drug costs for uninsured consumers in the district.
