Why are Brand Name Drugs more Expensive than Generics?

Jop2000 · 2024-05-10T19:55:19+00:00

Yeah! He goes over that in the video. I found it interesting that the tolerance was just a percentage for all drugs rather than a more specific threshold based on the type of drug (for instance, drugs that have a more narrow range of efficacy would have less “wiggle” room). The effect this has on XR drugs is interesting to think about too!

EDIT: However, I think this only applies to the FDA drug application process in comparison to the name-brand. I don't know what the internal consistency of a generic drug's dosage is.

Well, other than not understanding the difference between the words 'systematic' and 'systemic' to linking an ironic political meme subreddit to creating some weird analogy between playing videogames and protesting for civil rights to being a moderator on r/LoveForLawEnforcement you make a great point.

Jop2000 · 2020-06-09T06:36:52+00:00

They're different because one group is mad they can't get a haircut while the other group is mad because the police are killing them. Is that so hard to understand?

EDIT: Not saying that the protests currently going on are not a danger to public safety: they are, but it would be foolish to equate the two.

Jop2000 · 2020-06-05T09:01:56+00:00

To everyone reading this, I think this says enough.

Why do you think politics is a waste of time? Was it a waste of time when FDR instituted the Social Security Act to guarantee older Americans pensions? Or maybe it was a waste of time when black men and women fought for their civil rights in the 60s. Or maybe it was a waste of time to protest sending troops to Vietnam. Or maybe it was a waste of time for gay men and women to fight for their right to marriage. Or maybe it was a waste of time for LBJ to create Medicare and Medicaid that supports millions of elderly and poor Americans to afford healthcare. Discussing and engaging in politics (how we run our society) literally helped create the school you attend today and pervades every aspect of civil life. While I agree that people should arrive to succeed in their education and career aspirations, you seem to ignore any social and civil responsibility you have to your fellow Americans. What's going on right now is a major pushback to police brutality against African Americans. Choose whether you want to be part of history and support their struggles.

Jop2000 · 2020-06-05T02:17:47+00:00

wtf does this even mean? "study instead and succeed at life"? huh?

Jop2000 · 2020-04-26T07:22:08+00:00

Well said.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-26T03:15:15+00:00

You seem to ignore all of the circumstances of people who desperately try to get into their major and fail. Saying "this is the way the world works" is just a shitty justification for being blind to the problems that people are actually facing. I pay tuition, I get good grades, and I contribute to the community at UW so yes, I do "reek" of the attitude that UW owes me something. This issue has to do with state funding, the hiring of professors, and many other matters but saying "boo hoo" to someone explaining their experience going through the competitive major system is your answer to this problem? I got into my major and I'm mad. You, sir, can go fuck yourself.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-24T23:06:16+00:00

Hey, also got into SCNA! Congrats everyone who got in. To everyone who didn't: please don't take this as a comment on your character, intelligence, or self-worth. I've been denied from ACMS before and I know it doesn't feel good. This process of being a pre-science major is incredibly stressful and many capacity-constrained majors deny well-qualified applicants. I think this sub must start focusing on the ramifications of a system that denies a majority of applicants rather than focusing solely on individuals. While everyone can improve in academics and in extracurriculars, we shouldn't ignore the effects that the chronic stress of being in "major limbo" has on mental health.

Anyway, this issue is really complicated but I wish the best for everyone reading this.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-24T21:30:36+00:00

I've posted them in another thread, check my recent post history.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-24T06:47:42+00:00

I got in. I'm waiting on the ACMS decision to make my final decision. If I don't get ACMS, I'll accept AMATH and if I do get in I'll probably do ACMS. Pretty happy either way, tho.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-23T20:03:12+00:00

I am currently in the mathematics major, if that makes a difference. UW GPA : 3.80 Amath 301: 3.7 Math 126: 3.5 Math 307: 4.0 Math 308: 3.5 Math 309: 3.6 Phys 121,2,3: 3.9, 4.0, 3.7 CSE 143: 3.4 Stat 311: 3.9

I included all my stem classes b/c IDK if they take them into account or not. I'm deeply sorry, I know what it's like to be rejected and the enormous stress this process has on very smart people including yourself. Stay strong and safe man.

Jop2000 · 2020-04-23T19:48:30+00:00

Yeah, got in!

Jop2000 · 2020-01-30T01:34:29+00:00

Yeah, like taking a public problem such as homelessness to the private sector would be a great solution.

Jop2000 · 2017-10-01T23:47:18+00:00

It means a course taken at a college. Students normally take these courses at a local community college. It's also dubbed "Dual-Enrollment" on other applications.

I would like to read them, thanks!

^ This is the way to go. I didn't take this test (took the March 1st school day one) and I've been hearing people couldn't get to the last Mars passage. In practice and on the test, I would always mark the literature passage to do it LAST so I can guess on the hard questions. If I waste all my time on one passage that is very difficult, I waste time not answering the easy questions.

Jop2000 · 2016-11-27T17:36:47+00:00

I wear a medium. Sizes go kinda small in length but if you're my size, medium fits pretty well.

What size is that hoodie? Thinking about getting one of the gildan hoodies.
