Government monopoly.
Pharmaceutical firms obtain patent protection for new drugs, which are legal, government-granted exclusive rights to make and sell the drug for a limited period. This grant, not natural economies of scale or mere market dominance, gives Wellness Pharmaceuticals the monopoly on Lexabuzac.
