> Big pharma has been responsabil for every major advance in psychopharmacology since the barbiturates were introduced in 1903, they developed barbiturates, amphetamines, chlorpromazine, tranquilisers, antidepressants - if it wasnt for big pharma, we'd still be using straight jackets and potassium bromide
I agree wholeheartedly.The thing that is most annoying is that the pharmaceutical companies charge their USA customers the most money in the world for their products. It is meant that the American public foot the bill for the cost of research and development for these drugs. Unfortunately, it is precisely this that is contributing to the demise of Medicare and Medicaid.
