The Medicine Company acquired drugs that were in late stages of development from other companies in order to commercialize them. It spent $138 million over 4 years on product development for a drug called Angiomax. It estimates it can capture 50% market share of the high risk anticoagulant drug Heparin, amounting to 1.1 million patients at $40 per dose of Angiomax. The company models pricing Angiomax at $168.73 per dose in the first year to cover costs and earn a profit margin of 1:3 while paying 10% royalties for the first 10 years.
