Many people just take the drugs that their doctors prescribe to them, and they generally don’t think twice about it. However, there can be some real dangers when large conglomerates market drugs that are FDA approved for a particular usage to be used fror other reasons.Most recent, Pfizer has landed itself in court for many different felony and misdemeanor charges.
In a November Bloomberg.com article that was entitled, “Pfizer Broke the Law by Promoting Drugs for Unapproved Uses,” the article cites,
“For this new felony, Pfizer paid the largest criminal fine in U.S. history: $1.19 billion. On the same day, it paid $1 billion to settle civil cases involving the off-label promotion of Bextra and three other drugs with the U.S. and 49 states. “At the very same time Pfizer was in our office negotiating and resolving the allegations of criminal conduct in 2004, Pfizer was itself in its other operations violating those very same laws,” Loucks, 54, says. “They’ve repeatedly marketed drugs for things they knew they couldn’t demonstrate efficacy for. That’s clearly criminal.””
The article further states,
“On the morning of Sept. 2, 2009, another Pfizer unit, Pharmacia & Upjohn, agreed to plead guilty to the same crime. This time, Pfizer executives had been instructing more than 100 salespeople to promote Bextra, a drug approved only for the relief of arthritis and menstrual discomfort, for treatment of acute pains of all kinds.”
