	CBS News \| Don't Vilify Drug Companies \| February 25, 2005 10:30:08
		Drug companies - "Big Pharmas" - are the villains of medicine and health care, at least according to much media, many politicians and lots of polls.
		We expect drug companies to be altruistic, not to be motivated by profits, unless, of course, we have pharmaceuticals in our union pension plan or 401(k).
		But drug company carpers - and that's most of us - insist that these new drugs are still too expensive, that we're getting gouged and that drug companies get to keep their patents too long.

	The medical racket revealed: pharmaceutical fraud, political influence and the FDA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It even goes on to describe the astonishing fact that drug companies are, themselves, playing a dominate role in reporting statistics that would determine whether their own drug might be dangerous enough to justify a public safety recall.
		Because pharmaceutical companies finance the vast majority of all drug trials, they design and structure the studies, select and pay researchers, choose the patients, analyze the test results, closely oversee the writing and publication of the final studies and release the drugs through their massive sales network to the medical profession.
		Drug companies also systematically obscure adverse drug reactions and even deaths that occur during the trials by simply deleting or mislabeling them in the data submitted to the FDA.

	The Truth About Drug Companies
		Those are drugs that were developed entirely in-house, and that are new molecular entities.
		The companies also make the case that there need to be several me-too drugs on the market because if one doesn’t work, maybe another one will.
		Importing drugs from Canada is not a very sensible solution, because Canada can’t possibly supply the U.S., and the drug companies are now retaliating against Canada and squeezing their supplies.

	Massive medical fraud exposed: pharmaceutical company paid doctors to prescribe drugs and run sham clinical trials (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Prescription drugs are so profitable -- some drugs are now sold at more than 500,000% markup over the actual cost of their raw ingredients -- that drug companies will do practically anything to sell more pills.
		Drugs aren't helping the population at large, all they're doing is turning the United States into a nation of chemical zombies who suffer from the extremely toxic side effects of taking dozens of prescriptions in combination.
		These drug companies seem determined to dose the entire population with as many simultaneous prescriptions as possible, as long as it generates profits for their shareholders.

	The New York Review of Books: The Truth About the Drug Companies
		Drugs are the fastest-growing part of the health care bill—which itself is rising at an alarming rate.
		Drug company revenues (or sales) are a little different, at least as they are reported in summaries of corporate annual reports.
		These laws mean that drug companies no longer have to rely on their own research for new drugs, and few of the large ones do.

		As the drug companies are running out of real diseases to boost their pharmaceutical sales, they're increasingly inventing new, fictitious diseases in order to scare people into thinking they have some sort of disorder or dysfunction.
		Drug companies are strongly resisting the idea that they should be required to publish the results of their drug trials on a publicly accessible database.
		Drug companies want to sell the drug OTC because there are millions of people who would buy it and take it if it were available without prescription.

	What Drug Companies Aren't Telling YOU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To protect their patents and profits, the drug industry “evergreens” or reformulates a product just before it goes off patent by claiming some new formulation such as a time-release version or by combining it with another existing drug, marketing it for another illness or even claiming a patent on an inactive ingredient.
		The cost of prescriptions for two new oral diabetes drugs jumped 62 and 41 percent in 2001, and on average the costs for the new drugs are twice as much as for the effective older oral diabetes medicines.

	[Ip-health] Pfizer moves to stem Canadian Drug Imports
		The company confirmed yesterday that it had sent letters to 50 Canadian pharmacies that it believes are exporting to the United States, telling them that they would have to begin ordering their drugs directly from Pfizer, rather than from wholesalers.
		Drug makers also argue that imported drugs can be dangerous, noting that neither American nor Canadian health authorities assure their quality.
		She said they were meant to ensure that drugs needed by Canadians were not diverted to the United States.

	Pharmaceutical Profits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One drug company, Merck, pocketed more in pure profit than all of the airline companies on the Fortune 500 list, and bested the entertainment and construction industries as well.
		However, as these figures show, the industry is pocketing the largest profit margin of any industry in the nation, with these profits far outweighing their spending on research and development.
		Make no mistake about it, there is a direct connection between the drug companies massive profits and Americans being charged the highest prices for prescription drugs in the world.

	Illinois Sues 48 Drug Companies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Reimbursements by state and federal government health insurance programs to providers such as doctors, pharmacies and hospitals are based on prices the drug companies themselves report to publications to be used as benchmarks.
		However, the drug companies allow the providers to buy drugs at a cost substantially less than what the states or consumers are paying based on the published drug prices.
		The lawsuit also asks the court to order the defendants to pay all court costs, as well as civil penalties of $50,000 per violation found to have been committed with the intent to defraud and additional penalties of $10,000 per violation found to be committed against a person 65 years of age or older.

		She describes how, even though the drug companies claim that it costs them an average of 802 million dollars per drug to develop new medicines, that figure is obscenely inflated since it factors in marketing as well as expected interest the company would have received had they invested the money in the open market.
		You will also understand how the drug industry has been able to achieve such a business success and how this success, as is often the case throughout history, will likely be their downfall.

		Although The Drug Story is one of the most important books on health and politics ever to appear in the USA, it has never been admitted to a major bookstore nor reviewed by any establishment paper, and was sold exclusively by mail.
		So the stage was set for the "education" of the American public, with a view to turning it into a population of drug and medico dependents, with the early help of the parents and the schools, then with direct advertising and, last but not least, the influence the advertising revenues had on the media-makers.

	METHAQUALONE: how drug companies profited
		Even before that the drug had found its way into the street where it was widely abused: by heroin users, by high school students, by anyone who wanted a cheap but potent down.
		Germany introduced methaqualone in 1960 as a nonprescription drug, had its first methaqualone suicide in 1962, and discovered that 10% to 22% of the drug overdoses treated in this period were a result of this drug.
		Many drugs may therefore be used in either capacity, depending upon the dose and the time of day that they are given.~ The most widely used drug in this general category is alcohol.

	iMedia Connection: Drug Companies Catch the Buzz
		The results were not what Merck was hoping for -- the trial failed to prove a benefit for the higher dose, and instead showed that it may actually be dangerous for some patients.
		Drug makers are required to act responsibly on any information they have about their products' adverse effects, and online forums are where many patients vent their gripes.
		One method Carson recommends is to "work through the medical professionals or consumer experts that moderate or lead these forums" and develop relationships with them, much as they would do with journalists and medical experts in the offline world.

		Pharmaceutical companies are involved more than ever in politics, from drug pricing limits to cloning and from antiterrorism to African AIDS relief.
