I saw this earlier. It's a compounding pharmacy so they're just making it for individual patients, rather than "manufacturing." But I didn't think you could compound a product that is already commercially available. Otherwise "compounding pharmacies" would be popping up all over to bust patents.

It's a big issue, FDA has indicated that they are not going after compounding pharmacies for doing this.

How is he going to pay for the Wu-Tang Clan album now?
He's the mystery buyer, and apparently ponied up $2 million for it.

How I understand this is that the "alternative" is a compound with leucovorin and can only be used for a sliver of patients that would use the drug due to the limited indication of the leucovorin addition.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't really sound like that big of a threat to the current GOAT of phrma.

It can be used for any patient for whom the leucovorin would not cause harm (i.e. Anyone who would be on Daraprim).
