The drug price hike is making news this year. Turing Pharmaceuticals, the business established by the well known Martin Shkreli, increased the price of Daraprim from $13 a pill to $750, a 5,000 % raise.

It is a meticulous way of continual monitoring for unwanted side effects and other safety-related issues of drugs that are in development and also those that are already being sold in the market.
