Martin Shkreli has taken to Twitter to combat media backlash after news broke that his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, had raised the price of the life-saving drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill.
The medicine, Daraprim, which has been on the market for 62 years, is the standard of care for a food-borne illness called called toxoplasmosis caused by a parasite that can severely affect those with compromised immune systems. Turing bought the rights to the drug last month and almost immediately raised prices.
The 32-year-old quoted Eminem to combat the backlash.
Shkreli has already dethroned the dentist who killed Cecil the Lion as the most-hated man in America, the Daily Beast reported and Twitter users have no problem in expressing how they feel.
