The problem is that the drug companies KNEW alot about many things concerning their drugs.
Merck KNEW Vioxx was a problem. They had memos made to deflect doctors' questions even. (those memos were shown on 60 minutes). Lilly is now paying 1.3 billion in fines for misrepresenting Zyprexa.(the largest ever fine... but Hey...they made 39 billion by lying!) So what is 1.3 billion to them? One of the Zyprexa doctors in studies shredded files of patients who died of long QT syndrome on it. (this was discussed on CafePharma a while back). So yes, Lara... mega big time exploitation.

Basically.... and historically the drug companies conceal any
negative results from their studies...UNTIL the drug goes generic. Then we get more information. But with the new sophisticated drugs we have seen in the last decade, their negative effects are SO horrible that they are showing up BEFORE the patents expire. The executives at the drug companies have decided that the losses from liability suits and fines are smaller than the potential for profit. They know the FDA is flawed and unable to enforce safety issues. So they throw the drug out there and many many people are harmed as a result. The drug companies pay some doctors to persuade other doctors to use these drugs. The expose on Wyeth/Effexor a year ago in the NYT was an example. Now we have Reuben swaying doctors to use Lyrica and Neurontin. Soon the dirt will hit the fan with statins. That one will be bigger than all of them put together in the past, IMO. Statins have been forced on NORMAL people... millions and millions of them. The "need" for them was created by the drug industry.
