Martin Shkreli's Drug Price Hike Controversy

In 2015, Shrekli began his journey in Turning Pharmaceuticals where he got FDA approvals and licenses for the major expensive drugs within a couple of months.

There was a huge controversy when Shkreli hiked the price of HIV drug Daraprim in September 2015. He increased the price of the HIV drug from $13.50 to $750 per tablet.

When the price of the HIV drug got extremely high, it causes a lot of problems in the treatment of HIV all over the country. Thousands of HIV patients got affected because of the price hike and even resulted in an irreparable harm to patients.

For the extremely hike of price, Martin Shkreli had to face a huge criticism from the several medical associations and business tie-ups. Later, he had to resign from Turing. After he resigned, board chairman Ron Tilles replaced him.

Furthermore, the record label Collect Records responded to the controversy by publicly ending its business relationship with him, who invested in the company.

In an interview with Bloomberg Markets in September 2015, he explained that although the price increased, patient co-pays would actually be lower which means that the drug can be at no cost. Turing had expanded the free drug program where the drug was sold at its half price, costing $1.

Though Martin Shkreli has gone over all those controversies, he still is active in the field, and his net worth will definitely go high in coming days.
