[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1485341, member: 380756"] Usually when a drug company comes out with a "better" version of their patented drug (Novorapid, made by Novo Nordisc) it means that patent is due to run out. That's what happened to Lantus, made by Sanofi, so they came out with Toujeo right before Lantus went generic (Basaglar). The other thing they do is combine the drug due to expire with a new drug and they patent the combination. Or they change the delivery system and patent that. Drug companies are pretty crafty about making sure they can charge us up the **** for their stuff. Right? [/QUOTE]
