RE: Do Gifts From Pharmaceutical Companies Really Affect The Way Doctors Prescribe Drugs?
Some companies have done some shady shit. I don't know how revolutionary cox-2 inhibitors are/were at the time. However the issues they have are present in any NSAID, including ibuprofen.
Altering the tolerable dose is unacceptable behavior, that should have been punishible with large fines and jail time... Though I doubt it was.
You're right. The top execs were never really prosecuted. News reports at the time decried the excuse as being "Pfizer is too big to fail."
Nothing is too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail.
