Measures (often, these will be arranged by third-party pharmacy benefit managers). But high list prices can still strain the resources of public payers like Medicare, and some research has shown that ever-increasing list prices do seem to translate to higher out-of-pocket costs for patients over time. Other drugs that have seen an increase in 2024 include the painkiller Oxycontin, the blood thinner Plavix, and the antidepressant Wellbutrin. A much smaller list of drugs has seen a price drop, including the brand name erectile dysfunction drug Cialis, the antidepressant Prozac, and several popular insulin products. The drop in insulin prices is largely the result of policies passed by the federal government in recent years meant to cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin to $35 a month. While these policies affect Medicare patients the most, other changes have made it possible for many drug companies to actually save money overall by lowering list prices.
