50 drugs on Mark Cuban's pharmacy with biggest cost reductions

Nearly a year after launching the online pharmacy Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co., the company has hundreds of generics, more than 1 million customers, and partnerships with pharmacy benefit managers and payers. 

Over the next few months, the business — which sells drugs with a $3 pharmacy dispensing fee, $5 shipping fee and a 15 percent profit margin — is working toward offering insulin, developing its Dallas manufacturing plant, collaborating with hospitals to solve ongoing drug shortages and entering the arduous market of brand-name drugs. 

As of Dec. 27, its biggest cost reduction is tolvaptan, a generic used to treat low sodium levels in blood, which comes with a markdown of nearly 80 percent.
