J&J raises U.S. prices on around two dozen drugs
11 January 2019 - Johnson & Johnson raised U.S. prices on around two dozen prescription drugs on Thursday, including the psoriasis treatment Stelara, prostate cancer drug Zytiga and blood thinner Xarelto, all among its top-selling products.
J&J joined many other companies that raised U.S. prices on hundreds of prescription medicines earlier this month.
Most of the J&J increases were between 6 percent and 7 percent, according to data from Rx Savings Solutions, which helps health plans and employers seek lower cost prescription medicines.
