E-Drug: Withdrawal of antipsychotics in Pakistan (cont)
-------------------------------------------------------
Psychotic drugs are not the only drugs short in the market. Thyroxin
disappeared from the market 3 months ago. Unfortunately there are no
generics of it either.
The company manufacturing Thyroxin, could not keep it in the market as
Thyroxin became a loss product. This may be true as we find no generics of
it either. Even the generic manufacturers have disincentive to get into
this formulation.

[Maybe some Pakistani E-druggers could explain what is going on. Is it
price control that makes the drugs no longer attractive to produce? WB]
