Eisai withdraws epilepsy drug Fycompa in Germany over price disagreement
Eisai has said that it will temporarily suspend sales of Fycompa (perampanel) in Germany as it \"is unable to accept the assessment\" from the German Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) that the epilepsy drug offers no additional benefit compared with other treatments. A company spokeswoman said that as a result of the G-BA decision, the price of Fycompa would be in line with generic drug comparators at less than 1 euro ($1.30) per dose, below the 7 euros to 8 euros ($9.20 to $10.50) that Eisai has been charging in European markets.
