Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co. now sells more brand-name drugs.
After breaking into the brand-name market in March — over a year since launching its online wholesaler company — Cost Plus Drugs offers three brand-name products made by Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson business. Cost Plus Drugs sells about 1,000 generics and four brand-name drugs.
The three products are Invokana (canagliflozin), Invokamet (canagliflozin-metformin HCl) and Invokamet XR (canagliflozin-metformin HCl), according to a Cost Plus Drugs tweet.
One of them, Invokana, is a Type 2 diabetes drug that typically costs more than $675, according to Cost Plus Drugs' website. Mr. Cuban's company's price is $243.90.
