In 1960, 24 tablets of thalidomide cost approximately $1.00

 

Back on the market again, today the very same thalidomide
 (a generic) costs up to $400.00 per pill or approximately $100,000.00 a year for one cancer patient in the USA.

 

The wholesale cost of just 28 capsules of thalidomide in Australia is $1,726.42.

 

Thalidomide continues today to deform and kill children predominately in Africa and South America.
