Chapter 253:Insulin greatly reduced in price! (1)
Charlotte remained silent for a while before nodding finally.
"Alright, starting tomorrow, we will price insulin at 100 copper coins per injection."
Reducing the price from 1000 copper coins to 100 copper coins was quite a significant cut. However, Charlotte respected Vivian's decision and agreed to the pricing.
Of course, there was another important reason.
The pharmacy business at the medical center was thriving, with the first-aid kits and the Golden Stamina Elixirs selling well. This made Charlotte less eager to pursue profit growth with insulin.
As Vivian had mentioned, the cost price of a single insulin dose was less than 5 copper coins, which already included the cost of the vial.
Diabetic patients needed to use insulin daily, and if this drug could be promoted to more diabetic patients, the daily consumption would be a substantial number, bringing considerable profits.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Vivian almost leaped into Charlotte's arms, her small face filled with excitement and disbelief.
When she decided to propose her idea to Charlotte, she was prepared to endure his ridicule and rejection, knowing how profit-oriented he was.
But she never expected him to agree!
"Alright, let's start purifying the insulin quickly. With the price reduction tomorrow, they will surely buy more," Charlotte said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Vivian nodded eagerly and swiftly immersed herself in the purification process of insulin.
Charlotte was responsible for grinding the frozen cow pancreas and dissolving it into pancreatic pulp with acidic ethanol, while Vivian completed the final purification step.
Three tons of cow pancreas could extract insulin for thousands of people.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The glass vials for the custom-made injections had already arrived. The prepared insulin was filled into small bottles, which were divided into three sizes to accommodate different body types.
They had a simple noodle dinner, and Charlotte assisted Vivian in extracting insulin with all his strength. Kasha was in charge of bottling and labeling the insulin.
By the time they finished their busy work, it was already late at night.
"Finally, it's over," Vivian yawned.
"1240 bottles. It'll be enough for many patients for a long time," Kasha said with a smile. The boxes of medication had already piled up into a small mountain.
The three of them exchanged smiles and saw a sense of accomplishment in each other's eyes.
For diabetic patients, each vial of medication was a life-saving treasure.
There probably wasn't anyone in this world more suited to do it than him.
He continued reading until dawn, then got up to wash and changed into his work robe.
Glancing at his system panel, he saw:
