Abstract
The determination of the prices of medicines and other medical devices has always been a headache on the part of the State, since they are products of great importance for the health and well-being of citizens. However, the legislator must assess above all two aspects: the possibility of generalized access to pharmacological and health products and, on the other hand, the remuneration for the creation, the right given by the patent that is exploited and the manufacture of the product. For this, the legislator has had to design a pricing system based on various variables that ensure these variables, but also partly finance the product with public funds so that the part of society with less economic passibilities can access these types of Products on equal terms.
