I took a course recently on drugs and the pharmaceutical industry. Really eye-opening.
"Reconcile," btw, is fluoxetine, also known as "Prozac." Prozac for your dog.
Talk about expanding your market.
It's an open question whether drugs should even be marketed to the general public anyway, since the vast majority of people know as much about drugs as they do about nuclear physics -- i.e., nothing. |
My auntie, a long time nurse, was telling us a story the other day about working in a country town where every time the locals got a cold, they would take all their left-over antibiotics from when they had had an actual sickness and the drugs had been prescribed to them.
(That's a double, because it also means they didn't take the full course when they were sick the first time!)
No wonder antibiotic-resistant super bugs are arising if people are doing stuff like this!
