First of all, of course drug companies have their own agenda! They are in the business to sell their drugs and to make $; it is naive to think differently, and even more so to expect them to somehow be altruistic when the rest of the business world is not.

Sure they are trying to sell more than the opposition in a competitive market.

But ethically, are they really trying to sell stuff that is dangerous / does not work?

I understand the tricks like rebranding something into a new / different format that is essentially the same drug, etc.

I suppose I just had my views on what ACTUALLY goes on challenged somewhat recently. I always had a big bad monster image too.

*shrug*.
