Some of the largest price increases were for an antibiotic called Omeclamox-Pak, made by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals, which has had a price increase of 13.4 percent this year.
An ADHD treatment made by Neos Therapeutics called Adzenys XR-ODT has had a price increase of 10 percent this year.
BiDil, a heart failure drug made by Arbor Pharmaceuticals, has had a price increase of 9.7 percent this year.
