Are you asking about consumer prices (and then, where - in the US)? manufacturer prices?

You can find the Forbes list here: http://www.forbes.com/2003/07/25/cx_mh_0725drugstore.html Until I read this, I thought some pills I purchased recently at $3 a pop were expensive.

Hello maddog1234-ga, Forbes magazine published a list of the 20 most expensive drugs at Drugstore.com in July 2003. This list includes - Rank - Drug Name - Drugmaker - Use - Strength - Quantity - Price Please let me know through the clarification feature if this list interests you, and I will point you to it as the answer to your question. Thanks, Bobbie7

Bobbie7, I would still like the top 50 but would be interested in the Forbes article as well. Thanks, maddog1234

Maddog1234, I'll do additional research and see what I can dig up. Best regards, Bobbie7

By expensive I mean per unit whether it is a tablet, syringe, teaspoonful etc. by prescription both at pharmacies and other specialized hospitals. I suspect the lists wouldn't differentiate between where the consumer was picking it up. And just US prices, thanks!

By most expensive, do you mean most expensive per pill or per day or week for a standard dose? Also, are you interested only in drugs that can be purchased at a pharmacy, or do you also want included very specialized drugs that might be available only in select hospitals? Also, are you talking about U.S. prices or the prices in some other countries? Thanks.
