Staff Told Not To Publicize Ineffectiveness of Drug by David Spurgeon Quebec "CMAJ (the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association) has published details of an internal document from the drug company GlaxoSmithKline that advised its staff to withhold the findings of a clinical trial in 1998 showing that the antidepressant Paroxetine had no benefit in treating adolescents." Folks, is there an ethics problem here? Should the public be protected from such nonsense? Two months ago a Glaxo drug executive admitted that his blood pressure drugs don't work in most people, and now we find that they even admit (in an internal document) that their antidepressants don't work either. I am not for big government or more regulation. Consumers must wisen up. No one is forcing anyone to go to docs who write these prescriptions, or for us to fill them, or take them. There is a better way. A good start is 1-7 in the above article. Remember, no one is ever a victim. All are volunteers. Click here to read the article.
