Gray markets are businesses operating outside of authorized distribution networks (typically manufacturer to wholesaler to dispenser) that charge exorbitant prices for scarce but desperately needed medications. The authors of the report found that in more than two-thirds of the 300 drug distribution chains they investigated, prescription drugs “leaked” into the gray market through pharmacies. Some pharmacies were found to have sold their entire inventories of a particular drug into the gray market.
