A state-owned competitor? Very good job California!
For now it’s just naloxone and insulin that you can buy, and schools can buy albuterol inhalers. It’s a great start, though.
Damn, OP has high standards for this to qualify as "mildly" interesting.
Many prescription medications are dead simple to produce, especially the latest biologics. I could make my own professionally and in quantity with only about $500k in startup costs.
biologics, not very simple as these are monoclonal antibody you need a vector to produce them in large vats, also because most of them are still under patent, hence the high cost. simple drugs like oral steroids, Rx histamine is easy to make. others like tacrolimus, siroliumus, other immunosuppresants.
That’s… not even remotely true.
You’re saying you could do the manufacturing, analytical chemistry, packaging, and distribution? And stick to GMP? And deal with FDA audits?
Or do you just watch a lot of NileRed?
you put the medicine in the pill
Hell yeah
That's a very skinny bear, where's the paunch?
In CalRX trial for GLP-1 meds.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
