@northoftheborder well I understand the R and D costs...etc.. but then the doseage is 4 /day ( usually) so that factors into more cost...120 pills last about 30 days..now if you made them slightly more concentrated and took just 2/day the cost per pill is virtually the same so 120 bottle would last 60 days, right? so instead of buying 12 bottles/yr, you would just need 6 and 1/2 cost...maybe my logic is a bit fuzzy..I will blame it on ADT, but I also believe the consumers get head faked alot with medications...but we gotta have them and the drug makers know it..so pay up pal..oh..gotta stop, time for my eve Nubeqa doses...take them with some food..next week is PSA draw..

@xahnegrey40
Some people need to get the drugs in a lower dose, so that’s why they do 300mg. I know a guy was taking them two a day and then one a day because of reactions.
A lot of places won’t let you have more than 30 days worth of this drug at a time because of the cost and if you happen to stop taking it.
Even if they made the pills, double strength they would still have to charge the same amount in order to recoup their costs to develop the drug.

@xahnegrey40 J&J does now make a single-tablet "horse pill" (so to speak) for their -lutamide, Erleada, but the 4-tablet/day format is still the recommended option for most patients.
