Welcome to Pig Pharma.
Now you know why Potus made a rush trip to India.
The only US company that manufactures a drug being fast-tracked as a potential treatment for coronavirus suddenly doubled the price earlier this year, data shows.
Rising Pharmaceuticals, in New Jersey, increased the price of anti-malarial drug chloroquine from around $3.87 per 250mg pill to $7.66, according to data seen by the Financial Times.
Meanwhile the price of a 500mg pill rose from around $10.05 to $19.88.
A Rising spokesman told the FT that the price rise was 'coincidental' and that it was reversed when the company realized it could prove useful in defeating coronavirus.
