The 10 most expensive drugs in the US

High pharmaceutical prices in the US have been in the spotlight for the past year.

But which drugs are the most expensive?

GoodRx, a startup that works to assemble the prices of drugs and provide discounts so that people can shop around and find the lowest price for their prescription, compiled a list of the 10 most expensive prescription drugs in the US.

The price listed is for a 30 day supply (with the exception of drugs that are used as a cure, in which case the dose needed to cure was listed). The price is what GoodRx calls its "Fair Price": It's not exactly the list price, or what the pharmaceutical company sets - it's the maximum you should be paying at a pharmacy, wherever you are and whatever your coverage (or lack thereof).

The drugs on the list are mainly for rare conditions, or to treat and cure hepatitis C (which afflicts hundreds of thousands of Americans).
