GREED IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH BIG PHARMA AND CORPORATE AMERICA
Greed will overcome moral judgment, as blatantly seen during the Bush Administration, and nowhere is this more evident than Eli Lily's pushing off-label use of the deadly psychotropic drug Zyprexa on young children and senior citizens and others for which there is no FDA-approved indication: Allen L Roland
Eli Lilly pleaded guilty (in Jan 2009) to pushing off-label use of the deadly psychotropic drug Zyprexa on young children and senior citizens and others for which there is no FDA-approved indication.
Fined $1.4 billion ~ Lily made out like a bandit with $36 billion in Zyprexa profits over the past decade.
In that context, AARP reports that prices Drug manufacturers charged for most widely used brand name drugs rose 8.7% in 2008 while generic drug costs fell in average of 10.6% in 2008.
Among the drugs that saw the biggest price increases were ~ Prevacid ( for acid reflux ) up 30% Wellbutrin ( for depression ) up 21% Lunesta ( for sleeping ) up 20%. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090415/ap_on_re_us/drug_prices_aarp
The solution ~ buy generic and boycott the major drug manufacturers. Consumers have power and must use it to cause change.
Please watch this most informative four minute video of a January 2009 Fox News report of Eli Lilly's plea of guilty over fraudulent Zyprexa marketing ~ which killed unknown numbers and undoubtedly caused sublethal brain damage in many more.
If you're not outraged, you're on life support. Strike back by boycotting their products.
