Brian, Texas (KBTX) -donald Trump’s 25%tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports have recently attracted attention. However, 20%of the tariffs on imports of China can increase the cost of generic prescription drugs, which can affect pharmacies and consumers. The president also repeated the intention of leading ahead of more tariffs in early April.
Targets not only increase the price of pharmaceuticals, but also have strict supply, leading to lack of drugs.
Experts say the price rises can lead to people who use the drug to last longer by using less drugs.
But medical experts say that this can have a serious impact on your health. The pharmacist emphasizes that if a specific dose is prescribed, the total dose should be taken. Division of the drug is discouraged because it cannot be corresponding to the drug.
“Someone can’t come to the pharmacy to get drugs or eat drugs, and instead of taking one tablet at once a day, cutting it in half and cutting it in half to reduce the efficiency of the drug.
Experts say that tariffs have a ripple effect. In other words, the cost of the price is eventually delivered to the consumer.
There are ways to protect consumers from being hit directly at a higher price. But medical experts say that half of this country’s generic drug and 80%of active pharmaceuticals came from abroad.
They are worried that pharmacies and hospitals will begin to stock up in order not to pay more money later.
“If you are receiving a drug that receives the drug, if you are receiving a drug coming from China, which pays $ 10, if they have this tariff, China will not suffer, and us, consumers, Americans, and consumers are suffering.”
