Sometimes with a very minor change to make it patentable again.

Meth on the street: $40

Meth when they sing the name of the pill to you in a fancy commercial: $180

Meth is not ~~sold as a prescription drug~~ advertised in commercials, so I can only assume you're referencing Adderall (amphetamine), but the difference between them is like the difference between how flammable wood and gasoline are.
Edit: as others have pointed out, I was wrong with that statement about meth not being sold as a prescription drug. However, the original point still stands. People often conflate "amphetamine" with "methamphetamine", and this is dangerous for people who are prescribed Adderall and the like because, as long as the two are conflated, then people will shame those who need that prescription. This is a real problem that actually happens.
- Meth is sold as a prescription drug under the brand name Desoxyn. It’s schedule 2 in the US
- 🎵 Meth meth meth meth Methadriiiine🎵
  Ask your doctor about Methadrine today
- Methylphenidate (concerta/ritalin), methamphetamine (desoxyn), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), Amphetamine (evekeo), pseudoepinephrine (cough syrup)
"I'm lowering my A1C, jardiance 👯 " how'd that get in there brain?

Article 85.4 from the Law 29/2006 about warranties and rational use of medicines and health products (Spain):

When the prescription is made by active ingredient, the pharmacist will dispense the lowest priced medicine from its homogeneous group and, in the case of equality, the corresponding generic medicine or biosimilar medicine.

No idea if it's a law, but in Finland pharmacist is always offering a cheaper brand even if doctor has written a specific drug name
Might just be my experience too idk
- Same in the US unless it's marked as not substitutable.

Add a little caffeine! People love it.

Or even sometimes just change the indication, like when Eli-Lilly re-patented Prozac as Sarafem because it could be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Same drug, but they could keep it as brand-name for some patients.

Is that the runescape font?

Yep. This is why I've been having panic attacks all month.

Has Vyvanse finally gotten a legal generic?

They have!

Drugmakers began shipping generic versions of Vyvanse on August 31, according to Reuters.

Have to get my medication daily, paying 10 euros a month and that stuff is expensive af. You see, euros, not dollars.

Top picture: medicine prices in Europe.

Bottom picture: prices in the US for the same medicine.

Or keep the top and replace the bottom picture with 404: Medicine Not Found, because the FDA couldn't be fucked to approve it

So I get several hundred dollars from a random woman if I take the same molecule with a fancy brand name?

We live in

But think of all the doctors and pharmacists benefitting from not prescribing the generic.

Hi I am a pharmacist.
We do not benefit from the brand name. Pharma does. Sometimes the PBMs (middle men between insurance company and pharmacy) paying for it do as they get kickbacks. Sometimes they pay below the cost of the drug to the pharmacy despite them knowing perfectly well no pharmacy can get drugs that cheap. Branded drugs are not good for pharmacies.
It's the insurance companies (Specifically the Pharmacy Benefit Managers) who generally mandate the brand name over the generics. Prescribers might write the brand name on the prescription, but most (if not all) states have laws that allow automatic substitution to the generic.
Pharmacists (Who generally do not do any prescribing*) and Prescribers don't get any benefits from prescribing brand names. If they do, they're likely breaking anti-kickback laws.
(*There are clinics and states that allow pharmacists to prescribe medications. In Oregon for example, retail pharmacists can prescribe birth control. Or a clinic may have pharmacists reviewing and adjusting a patient's warfarin therapy)
