A member asked:
Do you think humira or remicade (infliximab) will ever come into the reach of poor people after their patent expire in 2016?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Nextel, Remicade (infliximab) and Humira will be generic but it usually takes a couple of years and they will still be costlier than most generics because of manufacturing costs. But they are great drugs that alter disease not just symptoms.
