Prescription price hike hits New Castle widow on fixed income
Santina Day, 67, of New Castle, saw her tranquilizer clorazepate jump in price, forcing her to halve dosage in an effort to save money. TheFTC accuses Mylan Laboratories of an exclusive deal that allegedly inflated prices for lorazepam and clorazepate by more than 25 times, prompting a $120 million refund suit. Day and her husband Ralph, 71, rely on Social Security and his job at Ralph's Golden Dawn to bridge medical costs after his layoff in 1980.
