Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: brand name drugs
The lawsuit was a serious mistake by drug companies. It should have been obvious to them that the world would not tolerate millions of poor people dying from AIDS just because they could not afford the prices charged for medicines. Thus they drew their suit after six weeks from the trial. Then they raised the prices for most commonly used brand name drugs by 28%; they sought to increase profit margins where they thought the market would bear it.

neutral  Mahammad Kalfat (X): the term in question here is "brand name" rather than "drugs". So this might be just a replicated answer.
