A US drugmaker producing skin creams for common conditions has raised the price of two of its treatments to almost $10,000 a tube in the latest instance of “gouging” in the world’s largest healthcare market, according to figures seen by the Financial Times.根据英国《金融时报》看见的数字，美国一家生产皮肤病药膏的制药商最近把两款药膏的价格提升至每支近1万美元，尽管该公司的产品只是用来化疗少见症状。这是全球仅次于医疗保健市场近期的“哄抬价格”相比较。Novum Pharma last week more than doubled the price of the ointments, even after similar increases by other drugmakers prompted an outcry and propelled the topic of high healthcare costs into the US presidential campaign.Novum Pharma上周把两款药膏的价格下调一倍以上，即便其他制药商的类似于涨价早已引起公愤，并使医疗费用高昂沦为美国总统竞选的一个话题。
Martin Shkreli became an international pariah last year after he increased the price of a drug given to Aids patients from $13.50 to $750 a pill while Mylan马丁史克雷利(Martin Shkreli)去年受到国际憎恶，因为他把艾滋病患者必须的一种药物的价格从13.5美元一片压低到750美元一片。EpiPen制造商Mylan公司最近因为大幅度提价其解救生命的过敏注射液而受到批评。
Novum上周把每支60克的Aloquin药膏（用作化疗湿疹和痤疮等病症）价格下调128%，至9561美元。, the maker of EpiPen, recently came under fire for a sharp rise in the price of its life-saving allergy injection. Novum last week raised the price of a 60g tube of Aloquin, which is used to treat conditions such as eczema and acne, by 128 per cent to $9,561.这种处方药膏所含两种廉价的主要成分：双碘喹啉(iodoquinol)，一种有数几十年历史的抗生素，可以避免真菌生长；以及从芦荟萃取的芦荟多糖(aloe polysaccharides)。所含双碘喹啉的一种类似于的仿造药膏很更容易取得，价格将近30美元。The prescription ointment contains two inexpensive main ingredients: iodoquinol, a decades-old antibiotic that prevents fungal growth, and aloe polysaccharides, derived from the aloe vera plant. A similar cream containing iodoquinol is readily available as a generic and costs less than $30.Aloquin的标签称之为，其“有可能有效地”，这意味著美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)得出结论指出，只不存在受限的临床证据指出它是安全性的，能起着预期效果。
Aloquin’s label says it is “possibly effective”, meaning the US Food and Drug Administration has decided there is only limited clinical evidence suggesting it is safe and works as intended.“从临床看作，被FDA列入‘有可能有效地’的药物不应当被医生当成一种优先考虑到的化疗自由选择，带着1万美元价码的药物特别是在不适合，”Rx Savings Solutions首席执行官迈克尔雷亚(Michael Rea)回应。“From a clinical standpoint, a drug listed as ‘possibly effective’ by the FDA, shouldn’t be a likely treatment choice by doctors — especially not with a $10,000 price tag,” said Michael Rea, chief executive of Rx Savings Solutions.Novum还把另一种皮肤药膏Alcortin A的价格提升了完全相同幅度，而第三种药膏Novacort的价格从每支29克4186美元上涨至7142美元。Novum also increased the price of Alcortin A, another skin cream, by the same amount, while a third ointment, Novacort, went from $4,186 for a 29g tube to $7,142.美国的高昂药价已沦为总统竞选的中心议题之一，民主党总统候选人希拉里克林顿(Hillary Clinton)抨击了数家公司，还包括史克雷利曾多次接掌的图灵制药(Turing Pharmaceuticals)，以及加拿大制药商Valeant。
