UPDATE: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/07/18/09/drug-firms-submit-cheaper-meds-list

Drug companies under the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP) on Saturday submitted their proposal to slash prices of 21 medicines in the Department of Health’s (DOH) recommended Maximum Retail Price (MRP) list.

The PHAP met the deadline given by Malacañang for them to submit a proposal on how to make commonly prescribed medicines cheaper to the people.

PHAP executive director Reiner Gloor said the proposal was submitted Saturday morning to the DOH and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Essentially, the proposal would slash the prices of 21 medicines, but not necessarily by 50%. Some could be lower or higher than 50%, Gloor said.

Gloor admitted their proposal would have a 40% to 50% impact on their sales, but it will be a welcome development if it drives more people to buy.

He said the PHAP, as an industry, supports the goal of improving healthcare.

The drugs covered by PHAP’s proposal include:

* amlopidine, telmisartan, irbesartan, which are anti-hypertensive drugs;
* clopidogrel, an anti-thrombotic drug;
* the anti-cholesterol drug, atorvastatin;
* the anti-diabetic drug, gliclazide;
* piperacillin + tazobactam, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, metronidazole and co-amoxiclave, which are anti-biotic drugs;
* bleomycin, carboplatin, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, doxorubicin, etoposide, mercaptopurine, methotrexate sodium and mesna, which are anti-cancer drugs.
