    Several of them are drugs I see advertised on TV every day. But not Rituxin. I think my neighbor used it for one of the forms of lymphoma or leukemia listed. Sadly, she did not survive the disease.

    I have taken six of the 25 in the past but am now either off them or using other similar drugs instead. How many billions are spent on meds every year?

    Thanks for posting. A very interesting list. Had no idea these meds were sold in so large quantities. Assumed it could be so expensive since its not used much, but guess they just charge as much as they can. Alhtough I've understood that Rituximad is quite expensive to produce. I think the patent even ran out on it, so generics can be made but they are almost as expensive.
