First of all I want to say that Chemist I wish I had your "knowledge". It is good to have someone like you that knows so much that doctors don't have a clue about and most can't explain if you ask them. I truly thank you for your response to my post and your insight. Your helping alot of people. Thanks.
To RACER I agree with you 100% about the marketing strategies from drug companies that lure doctor's to their wonder drugs by whining and dining them and giving them all the free samples they want to get patients to take their products. I was a Business major in college and I know the marketing strategies. For example--The anitdepressant Remeron has recently came out with sol-tabs (which dissolve on the tongue without water) because their patent ran out and the drug came available in generic. Xananx came out with Xanax extended release to spark brand name sales because the drug had went to generic. Klonopin came out with Klonopin wafers (which dissolve on the tongue) to extend their patent because their drug went to generic. So you are exactly right and I agree that drug companies are a money making industry and they will do what it takes to turn a profit just like any other business. Thanks for the response
