-- 日本経済新聞は火曜日、米国の最恵国待遇(MFN)制度に基づく価格設定モデルによって、米国の医薬品価格が日本の低価格に連動する恐れがあるため、日本は画期的な新薬の導入機会を逃す可能性があると報じた。 同紙によると、この制度の下では、米国はメディケアやメディケイドなどの公的医療保険制度において、日本を含む各国の価格を基準とするが、企業は日本での新製品発売を控えることでこれを回避できるという。 同紙は、この制度によって製薬企業が日本市場への参入を遅らせたり、あるいは見送ったりする可能性があり、日本は医薬品価格の上昇圧力や社会保険料の増加に直面する可能性があると指摘した。 同紙によると、業界団体は、革新的な医薬品の価格を国際水準に合わせ、特許期間中もその水準を維持できるよう、日本の価格設定ルールを見直すよう求めているという。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
