Drug Maker Lowers Price of Makena Pregnancy Drug to $690 Per Dose

John Larsen, M.D., professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, says the drug should not cost that much because the ingredients are inexpensive and the company does not have to do any scientific research.
