The short version
17 companies supply this market — deep enough that no single failure threatens the supply. The generic price has held steady around $0.3280 per unit over the past year. The brand (Trileptal) runs $14.88 per unit — 91× more. One of its named manufacturing plants, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, failed FDA inspectionwithin the last two years — the agency’s most serious outcome. Put together: this looks like a healthy supply — the boring kind, which is exactly what you want.
