Here Are The List Of The Drugs That Got The Price Cut Under The Executive Order (EO 104) Law Here In My Country
The president of the Philippines recently signed a law regulating the prices of the most commonly prescribed drug here in my country the Philippines. The aim of the law is for poor ailing citizens that needs a more affordable drug so that they can manage their health and lessen the mortality rate among them because they can now buy medicines at a cheaper rate now.
Among the drugs that got the price cut and now regulated are, some of the anti-hypertensives, anti-neoplastic/anti-cancers, analgesics, anti-asthmatic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease preparation, anti-coagulant, anti-angina, agents affecting bone metabolism, anti-emetic, psoriasis, seborrhea and ichthyosis preparation, anti-depressant, iron chelating agent, growth hormone inhibitor, anti-viral, fibrinolytic, hematopeientic agent, mucolytic, parenteral nutritional product, phosphate binder and surfactant.
I am so happy that my Phosphate binder "Renvela" was among of the said drugs that are in the list. Now I can be able to purchase it near half of its original price if I would use my disability privilege card whenever I would buy it from the drug store.
Phosphate binder is so important for me, it is the cuase of my hyperparathyroid. So if I would keep my phosphorus at a normal range and taken with my "Cinacalcet" everyday I would continue to see a result about my bone condition.
Sadly anyway Cinacalcet was not on the list maybe because it was not widely used or a commonly prescribed but maybe it will get included and I have to raise my hopes up for that matter because if it does than it will surely be a very good help for my financial situation where I am just solely relying upon the kind hearts of my friends online.
But thanks be to God indeed about this EO104 law and I hope that there would be a lot of laws be made in the future to positively affecting the lives of every citizen here in my beloved motherland. Thanks e to God and to all my online friends as well.
