Hi Sally,

Companies such as Teva, Biogen/IDEC etc periodically receive a slap on the wrist for falsely marketing their MS drugs. The sales reps can be quoted as saying that "this is part of the business". As long as they get their bonuses, who cares!!

This letter, however, is one of the longest and harshest I have seen in some time so it will be interesting to see what Teva does about it.

I've been stating for years that the CRAB drugs are nowhere near in efficacy what they state. This is but another example of how these drug companies "milk" the MS community. The cost of the drugs after 20 years continues to rise. Most products, after 20 years, are discontinued or their price has been largely reduced. Too bad this can't be said for the CRABs.

Take care.

Harry
