Health Boards
I don't want this to turn into a political thread and that is not it's intention. But the political situation around the world has got me thinking about our treatments and how things could possibly change in the future.
#1 There has been a lot of talk lately about of possible future trade problems/negotiations after the Trump win in the USA and Brexit in the UK, so how will that effect our treatments?
#2 Also do the drug companies make their treatments in different parts of the world depending on where they sell them and could that change?
I'm currently on Cosentyx which is made by Novartis. They are a Swiss company but my box of Cosentyx has Crawley UK on the back. I live in France and the packaging and leaflet is in French. I'm guessing that my treatment is made in the UK because of the packaging, if it was made in France or Switzerland surely it would have that on the back of the box. So will my Cosentyx still be made in the UK after Brexit and will the price change?
I would be interested to know what others think, and where your prescribed psoriasis treatment is made.
