I agree James – the more informed we are about this process, the better our credibility when we make sweeping generalizations like Riv’s….

Not sure what your point is Riv. It’s illuminating to learn as much as we can about the basic process behind the approval of what ends up in our medicine cabinets. I for one had no idea of the exact procedure/timeline of drug testing. Appreciate this overview.

Tucked into research and development totals are some actual research bills. The rest is what most people call advertising, graft, speechifying, expert buying.

Hello Carolyn – where did
u get that little boy picture? Just the best.

It also makes me more sympathetic to drug companies who do all this research and development on a product that may or may not even make it to the market. It’s an incredibly expensive process – no wonder companies have to resort to questionable marketing practices like medical ghostwriting or hiring doctors to push their product for them. Do they have any choice? It’s all about money and keeping thier shareholders happy.
