Costs of Drugs Run High With Rare Substances
A Kansas City Journal report explains that drugs like pseudo physostigmine and musk command extraordinary prices. Pseudo physostigmine can reach $1 per grain or $437.50 per ounce, while musk sells for about $50 an ounce and $600 a pound, with scarcity driving higher future costs. The musk deer supplies a single follicle per animal, linking price to rarity and demand.
