Dear Pharmaceutical Company,
So you're the sole source of a med, no generic available yet, even though it's been in production for years. So why have you "temporarily" stopped production?? I know I've been needing to wean myself off (hormone therapy for those wondering), but 2 pills notice was not exactly what I had in mind. Good thing I happen to have 7 more pills stashed from an office sample my Doc gave me last year. So I have 9 pills to stretch out. Meanwhile my pharmacist will try to find the Rx at another chain.

Don't tell me let me guess, when you start production again it'll be more expensive and with some small change that means it won't be available in generic form. Was this the ulterior motive for the long list of meds that are nearing their original patent, stop production, make a small change, then protect them under a new patent with a new price?
