Hear an On Point Radio discussion with Melody Petersen on the subject of drug company marketing, and how it is impacting the health of Americans.
Learn how drug marketing deregulation has led to a free-for-all in advertising. Direct to consumer prescription drug marketing (once prohibited) is now big business. But it has led to the overuse of prescription drugs - good for the drug companies, but not necessarily good for the health of patients. The cozy relationship between doctors, and drug companies is down right scary to me.
How much can we really trust the drug efficacy research? Do we really know all of the risks?
Hear Program
Amy Goodman from Democracy Now looked at this issue last year in a piece called "Big Bucks, Big Pharma". Watch/Listen Here.
