Medicare officials on Thursday unveiled the results of the program’s first 10 drug price negotiations, despite the industry’s two-decade, multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign and barrage of lawsuits to stop them.
The drugs that received negotiated prices are Bristol Myers Squibb’s blood thinner Eliquis, Boehringer Ingelheim’s diabetes drug Jardiance, Johnson & Johnson’s blood thinner Xarelto, Merck’s diabetes drug Januvia, AstraZeneca’s diabetes drug Farxiga, Novartis’ heart failure treatment Entresto, Amgen’s rheumatoid arthritis drug Enbrel, J&J and AbbVie’s blood cancer treatment Imbruvica, J&J’s anti-inflammatory medicine Stelara, and Novo Nordisk insulins that go by names including Fiasp and NovoLog.
